[TexasTowelie]

Southwest Airlines will fly nonstop to 15 new cities out of Dallas Love Field when the Wright amendment expires on Oct. 13 and airlines will be allowed nonstop service from Dallas to any U.S. airport.

Actually, five will be offered from Oct. 13, and the other 10 will be added on Nov. 2. The flights don’t go on sale until May when Southwest will post the schedules.

Here are the cities:

Atlanta
Baltimore
Chicago Midway
Denver
Fort Lauderdale
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
Nashville
New York LaGuardia
Orange County, Calif.
Orlando
Phoenix
San Diego
Tampa
Washington Reagan National

“We’re celebrating today an antiquated and anachronistic law, but also the future,” Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said, referring to both the elimination of the limits and the rebuilt airport, including 20 new gates.

1. I was wondering just a few weeks ago if the Wright act still held.

Stupidest most anti-competitive law ever passed. Glad to see an end to it even if I will never fly again in this lifetime.
