Southwest Kicks Off Services from New York LaGuardia

Southwest Airlines kicked off its new service out of New York’s LaGuardia Airport over the weekend with its “New Service, New Attitude, New York” themed celebration. Southwest Customers and employees dined on New York-style bagels while being serenaded by Southwest’s rapping flight attendant, David Holmes.


New Yorkers can enjoy Southwest’s service and low fares, while Washington, D.C.- and Chicago-based customers now have a new low-fare option for flying to La Guardia, according to Greg Wells, Southwest’s senior vice president of operations. Southwest Airlines is now serving New York City travelers from LaGuardia with eight daily nonstop flights -- five daily nonstops to Chicago Midway and three daily nonstop flights to Baltimore/Washington. In addition to the eight daily nonstop flights, Southwest Airlines will offer direct or connecting service to more than 45 destinations from New York City, including Las Vegas, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego. Southwest operates from Gate B4 in LaGuardia’s Central Terminal Building.


Earlier in the week, Southwest Airlines celebrated at the Southwest Porch at Bryant Park in New York City with customers and employees. Southwest employees will continue its community involvement with volunteer activity at Flushing Meadows, where employees will clean up the park.
