As AirTran Airways come to an end at the end of this year, most of these destinations will be switched over to Southwest so expect to see even more international cities served by Southwest.

AirTran Airways Flight 1 will operate on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2014, as the carrier’s final scheduled departure.

As a reminder you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards at a 1:1 ratio over to Southwest Airlines, so if you have an abundance of Chase points such as from the 60,000 sign-up bonuses from the Ink Bold® Business Charge Card or Ink Plus® Business Credit Card then consider transferring over to Southwest.
