From now on, there will be one fewer flights per day to Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Hartford, Houston, Los Angeles, Manchester, Oakland, Omaha, Orlando, Philadelphiam Pittsburgh,Portland, Providence, Raleigh-Durham, Sacramento, San Diego, St. Louis, and Tucson, and two fewer to Baltimore and Nashville.

Every Southwest flight I have been on in the last year (about a dozen) has been packed to the gills. Not an empty seat anywhere.

That said, I can't complain as the flights are mostly on time and the one time there were issues SWA credited the entire cost of the ticket. A five hour delay on the plane is almost worth flying for free.
