Non Stop Pairs
I am hoping to get a Companion Pass within the next couple of months and trying to plan some future travels. One idea I have is to put together a bunch (maybe 5) cities that I can do non-stops between. Kind of a WN road trip. My initial short list is BUF>MDW>MEM>AUS. Is there an easy way to see what pairs of cities WN currently serves so I can see other options. Has anyone else put together this type of journey and how did it work out. Thinking of spending 2-3 days in each city and possibly not getting a rental car, trying to rely on public trans when possible. The interactive map on the website is a pain to use and too jumbled.

The interactive route map is, IMHO, better than what you'll find on most airlines. Just hover over a city and select from the red (nonstop) lines to put together your trip.
The flight schedules page can give you times of flights once you've picked the route.
Seems like an interesting way to tour the U.S., but a rather lengthy and convoluted process to get a CP.

I am getting the CP through CC points and some already taken or planned travel. The trip I am referencing here is just a fun way to utilize the CP once I have it.

Thanks that is much easier but I am still hoping to look through a list and see that they fly from X to Y non stop. X and Y being places that I might not normally travel to and may never get back to. I have travelled quite a bit and have become a big fan of WN over the past 2-3 years. LUV the no baggage fees (golfer) and non stop flights are so much easier. I typically drive 2+ hr to get to an airport to use them and rarely use my "home" airport.

Get yourself to the southwest part of the country and bounce around with a bunch of short segment to various golf destinations. LAS, SoCal, PHX...maybe even ABQ (?). Or, follow your plan and head that way from Texas.
I'm flying WN to SNA tomorrow, with my golf clubs, to head out to Palm Springs. Using 2 HH certs there...staying at La Quinta and playing PGA West.
