Flying Southwest's Inaugural Flight to Miami

Hey guys! On November 15, 2020 Southwest Airlines began flying to Miami International Airport, an airport they eluded since their beginnings in favor of a smaller market in Fort Lauderdale...and I was sure to be on this first flight! The push finally into the Miami market definitely was in some part due to COVID-19 and the pro-Florida market at the moment, but it certainly was in the making for a while. When Southwest first started, they avoided primary airports of which legacy airlines dominated, but as the market and airline industry has changed, these airports have increasingly becoming more low cost carrier-friendly. And so it happened...the "southwest effect" has invaded MIA, an airport dominated by American Airlines. As for this first flight, I really enjoyed flying Southwest again as I always do and this inaugural experience just made it even better! Seeing how much it means to the SWA employees is just so awesome. The only thing that pissed me off a bit was MIA. I'm not sure why they didn't have their celebrations and festivities on inaugural day, rather chose the next day to have them. It wouldn't bother me as much until I saw some of the news stations proclaiming that the 16th was the first day of flights when it wasn't. Talk about fake news. Not Southwest's fault at all on this one though...this is on their new destination airport. I commend SWA for starting up at MIA and really enjoyed the flight, despite the lack of celebrations and very few decorations. Hope you guys enjoy!
