Southwest Airlines has unveiled a new flight schedule starting June, which will see more options for California travel, plus new routes to Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest and the Caribbean through to November 5, 2022.
“For a gamut of travelers seeking business opportunity, faraway fun, or family time, these new routes and additional flights put the Hospitality and value of Southwest Airlines in front of more of our Customers,” said Andrew Watterson, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “We recently extended our flight schedule to early November, and we’re making available new service sooner for planning early summertime journeys.”
Committed to California
Building on a 20-year legacy as the largest carrier of California air travelers, Southwest is setting forth a summer flight schedule that offers more flights in key markets up and down the Golden State, including these weekday schedules beginning June 5: San Diego and Sacramento – up to 20 times each way, San Diego and San Jose – up to 20 times each way and San Diego and Oakland – up to 14 times each way. Also on June 5, new nonstop service begins once daily between Sacramento and Santa Barbara.
“For the summer and fall, we’ve given San Jose Customers more flights on California short-haul business routes, and into Las Vegas,” said Adam Decaire, Vice President Network Planning. “Based on currently published schedules, Southwest offers more service between Silicon Valley and the Northwest than any other carrier.”
Throughout the summer, Southwest will increase service on these routes between San Jose, California and Las Vegas (weekday service up to 13 times a day each way), to Long Beach, California (weekday service up to four times each way) and to Orange County/Santa Ana. (weekday service up to 10 times each way)
Additional access between the Pacific Northwest and the Peninsula/Silicon Valley grows with new Southwest service between San Jose, Calif. and Eugene, Ore., once daily beginning June 5, and with additional flights on existing routes between Boise, Spokane, Portland, Ore. and Seattle/Tacoma.
Recently commemorating three years of serving the Hawaiian Islands, Southwest is increasing the number of flights within the Aloha State to offer interisland service at more times of day to connect people in the islands with business, family, and fun. New, once daily service nonstop between Kahului (Maui) and Lihue (Kauai) begins June 5, with additional flights offered on existing interisland routes.
The carrier’s popular value in providing authorized travel between the U.S. and Cuba is available to more Southwest Customers with a tripling of service from South Florida beginning May 4, roundtrip three times daily on the carrier’s Fort Lauderdale—Havana route. That same week, an additional roundtrip on Saturdays begins May 7 on the Tampa, Fla.—Havana route, to complement daily roundtrip service.
