Southwest, US Airways in today's news

PHL's two biggest carriers made announcements of interest in the last two days.
 Southwest put tickets to BOS and PIT on sale for $39 each way, plus tax. You have to buy in the next couple of days but the fares are good until December, so if you have business or leisure plans in either city, this is a good time to buy. Other carriers are matching, I'm sure.
  US Airways said today it's beefing up its New York LaGuardia service, hanging on the precious slots required to operate there with new Express service. Among the flights: Nonstops between LGA and Harrisburg, a route no other airline is now flying.
  And on Wednesday, US Airways and PHL managers will jointly show off new larger, more fuel-efficient buses that will take transferring passengers between Terminal F, mostly used by Express commuter flights, and the other airport terminals.
