Curious what this merger could mean for travellers? I'll sum it up for you really quickly. The bottom line is more routes, which will lead to fewer cancellations and delays. Southwest will now fly out of an additional 37 cities, including newly acquired Atlanta and new routes to Mexico and the Caribbean. Also, these routes will all fall in line with Southwest's policy of no baggage fees. However, fares to larger cities, specifically hubs in the Northeast, will probably increase in price. And the discount flights currently offered by Southwest and AirTran may be no more due to the decrease in competition.
