Baltimore has been riddled with controversy since the start of the new year, but Southwest Airlines is singing its praises in an in-flight magazine that will reach more than 5 million readers next month.

“Southwest: The Magazine” will include a 24-page spread on Charm City in its next issue, to be released Feb. 1, taking an in-depth look at the city and its people alongside ads from local restaurants, hotels and organizations. Jay Heinrichs, the magazine’s editorial director, touts Baltimore as possibly “the most underrated city in America” and “the city you’re missing.”

“We were looking for cities that punched below their weight in terms of public opinion,” Heinrichs said.
