Well folks I am going to buck my trend of only adding flights with 4 or more stops in honor of Southwest Airlines new service to BOS, which started August 16...

AUS-BOS...3 stops!!! Flight 139..Routing:

AUS-DAL-OKC-BWI-BOS

This evening this aircraft (N786SW, a 737-7H4) turned BOS-MDW-PHX-BUR as flight
1050...

Yes folks this aircraft flew 7 flights today...I have seen as many as 11 flights in one day for a particular aircraft, and as little as 2 legs for others...

Welcome to the Southwest family Boston!!!

An impromptu flight cancellation by YV (flying as "United Express") once left my wife and I stranded in ELP on the day after Christmas, so I called 1-800-I-FLY-SWA from my cell phone at the airport.

The ticket agent on the phone was sympathetic, and found two seats available from ELP-PDX...

We were booked on the next available flight to PDX, which was a 10 AM departure. The routing was ELP-LAX-SJC-RNO-PDX (!). All the same flight number...we didn't get into PDX until 4 PM  

Oh, and the TSA gave us the "extra-special" treatment, our checked bags all had TSA inspection notices, and we were SSSS'ed on our WN boarding passes   

Another adventure for you folks that live in The Rio Grande Valley...
HRL-SAN..6 stops!!! Some MAJOR backtracking on this beauty!! Flight 234...Routing:

HRL-SAT-DAL-LIT-BWI-BUF-MDW-SAN

I worked the last 2 legs of this goodie tonight from BUF-MDW-SAN

Did not meet anyone on tonight that rode the entire 6 stops, however 2 folks were on from
LIT-SAN with 3 stops..

Lemonkitty- HOW are these Customers getting these itineraries?

Southwest.com is not selling these at all, I have looked them up.

I see them on swalife obviously, easy to do as a non rev.

Are these multi stops bookable using the phone reservation?

Alex

SWA 1234 goes DAL-MSY-TPA-JAX-BNA-LAS

LK,

I am in the Los Angeles area in October. I'll have a free day on Sat, 24th. Are you able to tell me any unusual routings for that day?

Thanks for your help!

James.

5-stopper alert!

SWA 844 goes MDW-IAD-TPA-AUS-ELP-LAX-SMF

A cool and different way to get from Phoenix to Pittsburgh...4 stops!! Flight 3108..Routing:

PHX-ELP-DAL-STL-MDW-PIT

LK

Here is one of my favorites from the current (Aug thru Oct) flight schedule:

This route does not change flight numbers the entire day - departing MSP at 0700 and terminating in SFO at 2220:

MSP-MDW-BWI-MCO-MSY-HOU-AUS-LAS-SFO

and another one that would be fun to take (this is a single aircraft and changes flight numbers twice, once at SMF and again at ONT:

(Flight 3545) MSP-DEN-PHX-SMF (Flight 2469) SMF-ONT (Flight 2556) ONT-SJC-RNO-BOI-GEG

What is the longest way from DEN to SEA, out of curiosity?

I noticed a lot of these crazy through flights started around 2006, when the Wright Exemption allowed through flights allow more direct routing through DAL. One flight I worked last year was SEA-LAS-AUS-, and flight continued on to DAL-ABQ-PHX-OAK. No one from SEA would do that whole itinerary, but it allows through to/from service from DAL.
