As Southwest absorbs AirTran, the number of destinations served by WN nonstop from ATL may well decrease significantly. But it's hard to argue with the value of WN points for WGA fares.
Thanks. I like the Alaska idea. Now that opens up a whole bunch of new questions... I wish I was able to transfer miles because I have random miles on AA & Delta that are not enough for a flight but if I could put them all in Alaska that would be cool.
