This idea originated in a comment from Francis ("The USS Blog Boy") on David Evan's post, "Baggage Claim," so by popular demand, let's hear about your favorite airport served by Southwest. We fly to 63, soon to be 64 (with the addition of San Francisco) airports, so tell us why your choice is your favorite. Is it because of the facility, location, history, architecture, ease of use, flight schedule, our Employees, a combination of two or more of these criteria, or one that isn't listed? No prizes will be awarded (no, not even candy corn), but go ahead...have fun!

Pittsburgh, without a doubt.
It gets rave reviews in lots of travel surveys and the presence of the three largest LCCs doesn't hurt!
Also, let me just state for the record that I get double the pleasure when traveling to and from Pittsburgh Int'l because I get to pass through a terminal that was paid for on USAirways' dime despite the fact that I avoid that airline at any and all costs!
Islip without a doubt. The SWA terminal is new, clean, fresh, and easy to use. Not to mention Islip is such an easy airport to navigate into and out of and it is very very close to major roads on Long Island. Now I hope SWA will incorporate a nonstop between LAX and ISP. The angelenos are waiting patiently!
Since Brian has been nice enough to start an entire blog section on our favorite airports, I throw my two cents' worth in over here about Dallas Love Field. But, since I so eloquently expressed my feelings already, I'll just copy and paste from the other blog section! (I ain't clever, I'm just too lazy to retype all that stuff)
Having flown to more than half of the 63/64 airports that SW serves, I still have a special fondness for the Field that I Love...
Oh, and I'm still waiting to see who can correctly answer the trivia question about the world map inlay... :-)

Well, if weÃ
This was kind of fun - I checked the list of Southwest Cities and I have been to 22 of them on Southwest and 4 on other carriers.

PIT, no doubt. I love the AIRMALL!
I'm gonna follow in the footsteps of External Blog Boy and copy my post from the other thread, but I'll try to be clever and mix in some extra stuff....
ABQ (I'll be there later today!) has to be my favorite because it's where I started my SWA career, itÃ
Pittsburgh. It's a beautiful airport with a great local background. I love the t-rex, and the Franco Harris statue. There is so much to do in this airport. Orlando is great too, but extremely touristy.
My two favorite airports is Austin and PDX.
Austin for the great BBQ and the Shiner Bock beer
PDX...well I used to work there many years ago for another airline (before I got smart and came to SWA). I was there during all the construction and was able to watch this beautiful airport being built. I love the open space, all the the windows and great shops and resturuants.
Jim, your not missing anything by not seeing the smith terminal. Wait for the new north terminal to open.
I vote for phx. I like the style inside and the large windows overlooking the runway.
not like that, like me!

I love Love Field. The Ranger statue and the model airplanes are wonderful. I thank Southwest for saving the airport from the subdivision developers bulldozers. I'm sure that was the plan when the PTB decided to open DFW.
