re: For people who frequently fly between Nola and Dallas

For some reason, my elderly boss only flies Southwest, which I've never flown. When his girl booked our travel yesterday, I realized that Southwest is the airline with no assigned seats and I have to go to freaking New Orleans airport.

I have no idea why he, who is very well off and has no desire to be around all kinds of people, is partial to an airline without assigned seating that requires a drive to New Orleans.

If Baton Rougeans would quit doing this we would have more flights and bigger planes here. I do not see the appeal in flying SW at all. I do occasionally fly them, but much prefer other airlines and BTR airport.

As far as flight prices, $75 roundtrips are long gone. Airlines have cut capacity and decreased competition. You may catch a sale on Spirit/Frontier/Allegiant, but as others said, pack light and sit up straight
