Southwest Airlines used to have several daily non-stop flights between Birmingham and New Orleans, but they were all discontinued in 2013. Atlanta now gets these non-stop flights, but I'm hoping Southwest Airlines will consider bringing back at least one daily each way between Birmingham and New Orleans.

With the non-stop flights eliminated, the most efficient way to get between the cities has been driving.

With New Orleans being such a tourist attraction (and Birmingham silently becoming one) I'm hoping Southwest Airlines will rethink its decision, the current economy, and the renewed need for this route. A morning flight leaving Birmingham and an afternoon/evening return from New Orleans, in my mind, would garner enough demand.

Thank you for taking the time to read. Please pass along, and let's hope Southwest Airlines listens!
