plus with the cities being changed, sure you can fly into the city. Then go down long hallways to the faction leaders

It hasn't been confirmed he will die.
But still, there will be air defenses to keep people from bombing the city and exploiting the open cities like Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff.

Orgrimmar is getting a massive overhaul.
For all we know, it'll be a completely closed structure... with lots and lots of spikes.
Garrosh likes his spikes.

Put it this way, it won't be some weak, lame air defenses like you found in towns in outland.
It will be more like the aerial cannons that shot you down in blades edge mountain, only 10 times more precise, meaning all opposing factions will be shot down and suffer bad fall damage.
And given most would sooner not pay gold for a repair bill in a pvp raid, its best assumed most would sooner not go for that.
(I can picture goblin aerial assault teams on the higher levels of orgrimmar shooting down allys from afar)

I think they could help out world PvP by making the aerial defenses of the city at least somewhat interactive. Put a number of cannons on the walls that can be manned by players and add some achievements for shooting down a certain number of airborne attackers.

I'm just thinking who epic that would be...

Exactly!
Done properly, I think this could lead to some truly epic scenarios.
The trick would be to ensure that the defenders don't win every time. Perhaps Rogues and/or Engineers could disable the defense systems of the cities beforehand?
Maybe they could do daily PvE versions of the event as well, for those who don't care for PvP, where as a sort of open quest you have to man the cannons and help defend the city?
I see a ton of possibilities here.

Many possibilities, why not have a daily (or weekly, otherwise the raids would be unending) quest given by gnomes at Ironforge Airport. A small gnome faction named Gnomeregan Bombardiers with rep and a tabard that looks like
this
!
The quest would start at Ironforge Airport, where the raid takes off towards chosen horde city. All aircrafts are controlled by NPC gnomes and with two or three players in each aircraft. One player at the bomber bay, one at the turret and one who repairs and improve bombs/missiles. (Just like the
Infra Green Bombers
) Undercity could have Gargoyles as air defense, Orgrimmar could have bat riding trolls, Silvermoon could have dragon hawk riding elves etc.
Pre take off, the raid decides where to go, I.E Silvermoon. Raid leader speaks to mechanics and flight control at the airport and the raid position them selves out in the aircrafts and they take off. After a brief moment a loading screen appears and they arrive over the skies of Tranquillien where blood elves scouts spot them. And just like in Juuichi's post, they start preparing for defense.
The battle goes on, pretty much as in Juuichi's post too. (Thnx for the inspiration) But the alliance manage to break through their aerial defense and parachute down in the fountain in the Court of the Sun. Where they prepare for the battle against
Lor'themar Theron
. When and if they are victorious in the battle, they can either HS, use a portal or a Skyhook as Batman does in the Dark Knight.
That would be my kind of city raiding!

In heavy barrage fire, some of the parachuting Alliance soldiers are shot down, most of them reach the ground however. They rally to attack Grommash Hold.
Orgrimmar Grunt yells: Alliance units have invaded the city!
Garrosh yells: Crush them! For the Horde!
... and we just sit there and watch as the alliance attack and kill Garrosh, smoking a joint.
After they come out of the hold with the 'Kill Stupid Garrosh' achievement, we cheer at them and offer then a share of free beer.
