Southwest Airlines expands Atlanta service with two new nonstop destinations

On Aug. 22, 2011, Southwest announced it would begin service to the Atlanta market on Feb. 12, 2012, with 15 daily nonstop flights to five destinations: Baltimore/Washington, Chicago Midway, Denver, Houston Hobby, and Austin, Texas. The two new destinations open up the country even more for Atlanta travelers--taking Customers farther west.

"An expansion like this quickly solidifies our commitment to the Atlanta market before we've actually started service there," said Bob Jordan, Southwest Airlines Executive Vice President of Strategy and Planning and AirTran Airways President. "We are proud to showcase our robust route map connecting the Atlanta market to more than 50 Southwest cities."

To celebrate the exciting expansion of service, Southwest is offering fares as low as $109 one-way between Atlanta and both Phoenix and Las Vegas for travel every day except Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays March 10, 2012, through April 7, 2012.
