Southwest Increasing Flights to Seattle

January 22nd, 2008 by susan j

Southwest airlinesSouthwest Airlines’ Boeing 737-7h4 Photo uploaded by Bryan Correira

Thanks to a tip-off from the Seattle Travelgram, we’ve caught wind of the fact that Southwest Airlines is increasing the number of daily flights to Seattle-Tacoma Airport. The airline currently has three daily flights between Seattle and Chicago’s Midway Airport (MDW), but starting March 10, 2008, that number will increase to four. This is great news for travelers, because it means more options and (hopefully) lower fares.

Washington state is a major hub for airplane production and you can learn more about this exciting industry at the Museum of Flight or Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour.

Starting Saturday, January 26, The Experience Music Project will open the first part of a two part exhibit, Message to Love and Jimi Hendrix: An Evolution of Sound. These two parts join together to celebrate the life and achievements of Jimi Hendrix and how his music is still relevant to our time.

Message to Love, opening on the 26th, tells the story of Hendrix’s influence on our culture, while An Evolution of Sound, opening on April 26th, examines the connection between Hendrix and his audience.

At this first exhibit, visitors will be able to see his famous Woodstock Fender Stratocaster as well as his Gibson Les Paul guitar, later given to his friend Larry Lee and taken to perform at Woodstock. The rest of the gallery walls will be open as blank slates for visitors, upon which guests can write messages and memories to contribute to future Hendrix exhibits at the museum.
