NEWS to SFO people! Southwest is coming.
Big News!
We wanted you to be among the first to know that we’re bringing our legendary low fares and Positively Outrageous Service back to San Francisco, California! We couldn’t be more thrilled to have San Francisco International Airport become our 64th airport in 32 states making it even easier for you to move about the country on Southwest Airlines.
Service is scheduled to start this fall, so stay tuned for more details in the coming months...

Thank goodness! I hate flying into and out of Oakland Airport, as it is probably one of the most boring in the country (and no decent lounges, either). Yet, I have no choice, because the fares into and out of SFO have generally been double to three times those into and out of OAK.
Happy days are here! Or soon will be!!

IMO they will focus mostly in intra-CA market first. I think they're feeling the crunch from travelers not wanting to go to OAK for intra-CA flights. Hopefully this'll drive prices down on others.
Where will they be based? T2?

My best guess is the old international terminal, now going unused...
