My complaint is Southwest began to offer overnight flights even when terminals are not open post-security for the overnight stay at some airports. What business or family travelers wants to be kicked out of terminal and stay in the pre-security areas, sleeping lightly awaiting for the tsa screening to reopen to returning to post-security? This type of experience is not offered at DFW or most of “other-airlines” major hubs as passengers can remain within post-security areas.

I agree that they should display this information, but also feel strongly that they should offer it even in airports where post-security closes overnight. I usually prefer to pay for an airport hotel with an overnight layover longer than 6 hours, so I would book that flight even knowing that the airside is going to close.
