Business Class Travel » Air Travel News Air Travel NewsSunday, August 28, 2011February 2012 will be a great day for travelers who've long hoped for Southwest Airlines to come to Atlanta. The Dallas-based carrier will make its arrival at Hartsfield-Jackson International, introducing 15 daily flights from Atlanta to five diverse cities. The declaration of the date follows Southwest’s purchase of AirTran Airways in May. It presently operates AirTran as a subsidiary but does not fly its own planes to Atlanta.  That will vary in February when Southwest jets commences flying between Atlanta and Austin, Baltimore/Washington, Denver, Houston Hobby and Chicago Midway. AirTran by now flies to all of those cities except Austin, to which Southwest is adding as a new route. In the months following that, Southwest and AirTran will blend operations and ultimately AirTran jets will be repainted in Southwest colors. Southwest does not charge fees for the first two checked bags and no change fees. Additionally it also has all coach-class as well as open seating.Those policies will be in operation for the Southwest service begining in Atlanta in February. Until operations are fully integrated, AirTran will continue to charge for baggage and provide business class seats. Labels: Flights, Southwest Airlines posted by iflybusiness
