Southwest’s newest destination was announced today: Washington-Dulles.
So we lost Independence Air and their crazy $39 walkup fares to pretty much everywhere along the East Coast, but at least we have Southwest coming… and that means mega mileage bonuses from United, at least for whatever Southwest announces as its initial routes, which will be limited as they’ve only requested two gates.
Service should start in the fall.
