Southwest-AirTran deal means more options for some Southwest's AirTran buy will expand options for some, but fares could rise in Northeast NEW YORK (AP) -- Southwest's decision to buy AirTran will mean more routes and fewer delays and cancellations in small cities but higher fares in the Northeast and perhaps the end of the super-low sale fare. Southwest Airlines, which has built a loyal following with its tongue-in-cheek ads and refusal to charge for checked bags, said Monday it planned to buy AirTran for $1.4 billion. The deal will move Southwest into 37 new cities, expand its presence in cities like New York and Boston and move it into Atlanta, the busiest airport in the nation. finance.yahoo.com Who is next Glen? I might swap my Air Tran in coming days for American Airlines or Hawaiian Holdings or a pullback in Jet Blue. Maybe a AMR and LCC merger or RJET and JBLU coming?
