James,
Great gate games, though I must say this one is just a bit easier than the last set about the winglets. Although I don't necessarily need more SWA swag, I still can't help but play again, with two added pieces of information just for fun...

1. LAS - 231 - 21 gates, 53 nonstop cities
2. MDW - 223 - 29 gates, 47 nonstop cities
3. PHX - 206 - 24 gates, 42 nonstop cities
4. BWI - 178 - 26 gates, 39 nonstop cities
5. OAK - 142 - 11 gates - 20 nonstop cities
6. HOU - 140 - 17 gates, 28 nonstop cities
7. DAL - 131 - 14 gates, 15 nonstop cities
8. LAX - 120 - 11 gates, 19 nonstop cities
9. MCO - 108 - 12 gates, 34 nonstop cities
10. SAN - 95 - 10 gates, 15 nonstop cities

Keep up the fun games!

I cheated. I just copied Drew's. He seemed to know what he was talking about. Hey, the first three wins a prize. Just kidding, Brian. I know I am not eligible due to admission of cheating. Could not resist the urge. The blog is the first thing I read in the morning after my emails. Had to write something ahead of Leah.

Mark
Thanks for your honesty--and watch out for the wrath of Leah.

The info I found was a little more updated than April 07, but that's okay - I won last time and scored a really cool lamp! Thanks Brian!!!

Aww, why me Blog Boy? :) Ha, ha! :) Maybe Mark & Drew can both win a prize! I'll have to think about my answers before I post. I do want to say LAS is highest, but after that, I'm not sure. By the way, what's the consolation prize?

Fact for the day: Pop is spelled pop backwards! I know, I have total random thoughts.

SWA LUV! :)

Okay, here are my guesses:
1-LAS
2-LAX
3-MCO
4-HOU
5-BWI
6-MDW
7-PVD
8-DTW
9-BOI
10-PIT

Can we get an extra prize for knowing the city codes? :)

You better watch out for the wrath of me! Ha, ha. You know I'm kidding. :)

Fun fact for the day: If you say the words "peep hole" really fast, it sounds like you're saying "people!" You should impress your family, friends, & co-workers with this. I've a joke, too. What do you drink that exercises? Water, because it runs! Ha, ha, ha, ha! I thought of that by my very own self! :)

"Will somebody please tell me what's going on?"

SWA LUV to all! :)

James - we love the blogging gate game. Keep them coming.

But maybe, just maybe, make the next one a little more challenging that doing a Google search for "Top Ten Southwest Cities based on number of daily departures" which takes you straight to http://www.southwest.com/about_swa/press/factsheet.html#Top%20Ten%20Airp...

But - don't make the next blogging gate game too hard for me :-) (Or - West Texas Blog Boy needs to check in more often - I missed the start of this one by over 24 hours!)
