You don't know too much about the Southwest target customer, do you?
Ever looked at who flies WN on routes like DAL-HOU/AUS/SAT and Bay to Basin?
Hint - plenty of attorneys, consultants, energy business (in the case of the TX routes) millionaires, etc. use WN for business travel/daily commuting.
At one time, WN had the highest percent of full fare travel of any US carrier. (Granted there's a difference between WN's YL fare and say an AA Y26 but still...)
Yup and on those routes the reason they get business travelers is for point to point traffic in convenient airports. those business travelers aren't arriving 2 hours early to enjoy the lounge, but getting there as close to departure as possible. And theyre not passing time on a layover.
You're the only one who equated wealth with lounge target customer.
