Co-Terminals
Where can I find the list of Southwest's valid co-terminals per their flexible accommodation policy? Is LGA a sister terminal of EWR from the perspective of the policy?
Thanks |

Thanks I tend to think exigent circumstances - and a benevolent agent - control decisions. |

Strictly an educated guess but if you go to book a flight and type a few character in the "arrive" box, "XXXX Area Airports" will appear in a grouping.
suspect those are "official" co-terminals. Try FLL, LAX. SJC, LGA, DCA, BOS to check it out. LGA, EWR & ISP do appear together. Others? |
Thanks!

Can confirm that a flight booked to EWR offers up LGA and ISP as a free change. Same for FLL and PBI, and OAK/SFO/SJC.

Boston Area: BOS, MHT, PVD
Hawaii Area: HNL, KOA, OGG Los Angeles Area: BUR, LAX, LGB, ONT, SNA Northwest Florida Beaches Area: ECP, PNS New York Area: ISP, LGA, EWR San Francisco Area: OAK, SFO, SJC Washington, D.C. Area: BWI, IAD, DCA The list is here. |
One time with irrops flying lga-mdw, they were offering mke as alternative for mdw. I ended up doing ewr-mdw instead

Although outdated (sorry!), there is discussion of co-terminals in the Wiki FAQ. As noted there (specifically regarding PBI and FLL), the "Area" groupings are not the same as co-terminals. The Wiki FAQ points out other oddities, such as: why are SAN / SNA, AUS / SAT, and TPA / MCO not co-terminals when other co-terminals are more widely separated?
When LGA and DCA joined the network, it was unclear ahead of time how those stations would be handled regarding co-terminal status. A long time ago southwest.com did have a co-terminals list, but it was removed from the site. The co-terminals list might restrict the flexibility of phone agents during IRROPS, but the list does not restrict what airport agents can do for affected passengers. |

Turns out that while say, LAX-ONT is 47 GC miles, SNA-SAN is 76 GC miles (despite the fact that I'll bet on most days you could drive SAN-SNA faster than you could LAX-ONT). TPA-MCO is 81 GC miles and AUS-SAT is is 66 GC miles. It wouldn't surprise me if WN used a ~50mi limit for co-terminal determination. |
HNL-KOA is 163 miles.
