Southwest Airlines Cities



 Birmingham, AL
Mountains of Birmingham, AL City life of Birmingham, AL
Birmingham rides the rich wooded foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, a series of ridges running northeast to southwest, giving the area dramatic topography. A generous city, blessed with geographical good fortune, year-round entertainment, and irresistible Southernness. Most intriguing is the almost exotic quality of the city with a culture that is uniquely its own. Because it has retained a true Southern connection, Birmingham is said to be the last major Southern city in America.
