http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/War-between-United-Southwest-looms-over-Houston-3414923.php Looks like Southwest Airlines is trying to open up flights from Houston Hobby , possibly to Cancun. that would be a HUGE deal for Cancun!!! hopefully some cheap rates!! Southwest Airlines is the Vivaaerobus of the U.S. cheap flights
That would be great...BTW, what's the deal with Spirit these days? Do they still give those specials that they used to? Or did they "screw the passenger" one too many times and are out of business now? I used to be a club member, but haven't heard from them in a long while.
Southwest has been approved for international flights out of Houston Hobby , the only thing is , that it will be a few years before the airport is ready. BUT , they have partnered with AIRTRAN (www.airtran.com ) and they offer many flights out of U.S. cities then to Cancun for very good rates , the only thing is , that you might have a connecting flight , but may save a considerable amount of cash. I found several flights from Houston Hobby to a connecting city (via Southwest) then to Cancun for USD$120 ( one way , includes taxes ) and several returning flights for the same amount. Heck it cost me USD$100 in gas to fill up the Ford F150 Lobo
