This week Southwest also announced that Aruba will survive the transition from Airtran to their network. This means that they will likely add a couple more destinations over the next few years. Several smaller Airtran stations in the US will lose service.

a $300+ saving pp.
if it were me, i would go air tran

how inconvenient is it to go to BWI?
what about a park/sleep/fly thing?
might more comfortable getting to BWI the day before and spending the night and being able to park there.
