Yeah, I have 2 reasonably drivable airports that are both served by Delta. It's even the case that I can mostly get a less expensive flight with a good itinerary (airport to hub to destination) or a more expensive flight with a bad itinerary (airport to hub to other hub to destination).

Is Southwest the lone primary carrier for many of their airports?

SWA is generally one of the bigger users of any particular airport they use as SWA tends to avoid the "primary tier" hub airports.

SWA examples: Providence or Nashua, not Boston. Houston Hobby--not Intergalactic. Chicago Midway not O'Hare. San Jose rather than San Francisco. etc.

Southwest now flies into O'Hare, but the majority of their flights go to Midway.
