Probably if it wants to increase Washington region "DMV" point of sale from DCA, it'd advertise on tv and on billboards. Has it been doing that?
One thing that I think southwest.com needs is an "Include Nearby Airports" like kayak, or atleast a group code that identifies more than one airport. So a search like WAS-SFO would show all the flights from IAD, DCA, BWI <-> SFO, OAK, SJC in one result, rather than one having to run 9 different searches.
I assume this applies more for Bay Area where airport arrival maybe more interchangeable, but I wonder how many people look up fares for just one airport at destination like SFO and not even bother with OAK, not realizing there is a nonstop to OAK or better fare (e.g. BWI-OAK when there is no nonstop to SFO). The textboxes (at time of input) do show the other airports, but I believe that isn't enough.
