The article, "Landing more destinations key at PTI" (July 4), inaccurately states that Southwest Airlines offers much of the nonstop service at Raleigh-Durham International Airport. In fact, nine major airlines offer service from RDU.
Southwest Airlines serves 18 percent of the passengers who fly out of RDU. This is the same percentage that Delta Airlines, US Airways and American Airlines each serve. These airlines, combined with five other major carriers, offer 238 daily departures to 38 nonstop destinations.

Next time you fly, compare prices at RDU & GSO. My wife & I saved $450 on 2 tix to Philly last weekend by going out of RDU versus GSO. About half of my business flights are out of RDU because it costs so much less in many instances.
