Southwest returns to San Francisco
28 August 2007Southwest also announced new service between San Francisco and Los Angeles (LAX) starting on November 4.
In the years since Southwest left SFO, it has built up service at nearby Bay Area airports Oakland International and San Jose International. So while the return to SFO means more choice and convenience, it’s not a new market and so we probably won’t be seeing the “‘Southwest effect'” of suddenly cheaper fares across airlines serving a destination.
