Issue Summary

This morning in Albany, N.Y., a B737-700 will begin its workday at 6 a.m. as Southwest Airlines flight 2582 to Baltimore. From there, it will fly to Cleveland and then—after a 25-minute rest—to Chicago Midway and then to Des Moines, Iowa, and then to Las Vegas. From Las Vegas it will make its second visit of the day to Chicago—one of 10 daily Southwest flights from Las Vegas to Chicago, connecting the airline’s two busiest airports—before ending the night at Greenville-Spartanburg, S.C., 16 hours and seven flights after the day began.
