If you were flying from St. Pete's to MDW, you would have to transfer to a SWA flight in MDW. Why not just fly SWA from TPA-MDW and then continue on on SWA from there? Am I missing something? Is the PIE codeshare meant to save Pinellas County residents 20 minutes for their convenience? Would the price for a TPA-MDW-DTW be the same as the price for a PIE-MDW-DTW ticket? What's the point??
