Another cost saving measure that Southwest appears to use is to access the "worst" terminals via the "worst" gates. What I mean by that is their flights consistently service older terminals, gates that are further away from the security checkpoint or are otherwise less desirable. I presume that this means they save considerably on their airport access fees. I personally don't mind walking a bit further to the gate, so this kind of cost savings doesn't bother me a bit. I do wonder what the distribution of AirTran's gates looks like, though.
- lusis 16y agoAt least at ATL, Airtran has pretty much all of C terminal. Mind you there are 30ish i think gates split 15 on each side so it's not THAT far to walk from train to one end of the terminal. The choice of terminal is irrelevant because it just means a shorter or longer train ride from ticketing/baggage claim. Unless you're connecting with other airlines, you usually don't have much to worry about.
