Try and keep up here skippy...
Flying down south will cost extra too....just not as much as some areas I mentioned.
I'm keeping up just fine. You quoted a poster which stated SWA has lower CASM. You stated that some of those higher costs were associated with transiting Russian and Norwegian airspace and landing fees in Tokyo. I then reiterated that SWA was not contemplating flights to Europe or Japan and therefore will not be experiemcing those costs associated with the markets you mentioned.
Once again I'll say it slowly. Southwest Is Not Talking About Doing Long Haul Flying To Europe Or Asia, they do not have an airplane type to accomplish that mission! The costs associated with S.A. are much lower and will still lead to lower CASM costs at SWA.
