I've always heard Southwest was cheaper than to fly than American. I'm booking a trip right now to San Francisco (no gay jokes) and Southwest is at least $200 more expensive and to top that off you pay for your ticket out and then your ticket back. I like American's system better... one price for round trip.

Southwest sucks and I'm boycotting it. Southwest can lick my sweaty hairy balls.

i just hate the nondirect flights. having to fly through austin or dallas to get home stinks and typically for short trips like that continental is just as cheap or cheaper

is that because they are just struggling more than the other airlines?

The reason is they operate on a non-hub system meaning there are stops and plane changes along the way. They fly point to point with the aircraft then being used for another point to point flight. It makes their scheduling a little easier and does save them some money.

The Houston-Lubbock non-stop flights (they are still considered direct) went away almost six years.

Continental has been mentioning possibly flying a 737 (same plane as Southwest) non-stop to Lubbock so we'll see what happens. It would make it easier to get a seat and allow for more comfortable ride.

I thought SW had hubs in Dallas (love field), atlanta, and chicago or something?
