re: Just noticed SW removed the map search tool from their website

Yeah that tool blows in your link. The one I'm talking about had a small bar with a dot on it that you could move from left (lowest price) to right (highest price) and as you would scroll it would either add or eliminate possible destinations. So if you wanted to see where you could fly in January for $200 round trip, it would show you.

I'll still use them because their prices are hard to beat, but I'm not a happy customer.
