Southwest Airlines is sponsoring The Southwest Porch at Bryant Park, an al fresco lounge located in the New York City park.

The Porch -- complete with porch swings, rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs -- is part of the airline's campaign to celebrate its new service into and out of LaGuardia Airport beginning June 28th. Southwest will offer eight daily nonstop departures for New Yorkers -- five daily nonstop flights between Chicago Midway and LaGuardia and three daily nonstop departures between Baltimore/Washington and LaGuardia.

Southwest is promoting travel and tourism to New York in print and out-of-home media, radio, on-line, in-flight and non-traditional marketing, a focus on Chicago and Baltimore/Washington.--Tanya Irwin
