Booking window thru the end of the year has now opened up for sale.
Focusing only on DAL for right now, in addition to the new markets, LIT, ELP, STL, MCI, AUS, HOU, ABQ and SAT lost frequencies.
The cuts in frequency are almost exactly what I'd predicted a few months back (see http://www.airlineforums.com/topic/56733-wn-to-add-15-new-cities-from-dal/page-3#entry1060887)
They focused on the airports with more than 7 departures in a market, which also served as bridge markets. ABQ, ELP and SAT were bridge markets to LAX, LAS, and PHX. Likewise, MCI, STL, LIT and TUL got taken down as bridge markets to MDW and the east coast cities.
This is, of course, based on the current filing. There's more to come that wasn't made public, but will be shortly.
