Southwest released its entire schedule through October 4, 2023, and also announced new flights, as well as flights that will become available throughout the year from some of the biggest markets across the country.
What can fliers expect?
One of the biggest announcements is the expansion of flights from Long Beach, California, to other destinations across the country – without layovers. These are the anticipated adjustments:
Beginning March 9: daily nonstop service between Long Beach and Kansas City
Beginning July 11: daily nonstop service between Long Beach and Colorado Springs and El Paso
Beginning July 15: Saturday nonstop service between Long Beach and Orlando
Beginning September 5: daily nonstop service between Long Beach and Albuquerque
The expansion comes after much demand from customers to offer more direct flights from Long Beach to other major cities within the U.S.
Later in the year, fliers can expect the addition of more nonstop flights from various markets across the country. Many of these will be seasonal weekend flights while others will run on a daily basis.
Some of these include:
Beginning September 5: daily nonstop service between Baltimore/Washington International Airport and Oakland
Beginning September 5: daily nonstop service between Las Vegas and Little Rock
Beginning September 9: nonstop weekend service between Dallas and Philadelphia
Beginning September 9: nonstop weekend service between Los Angeles and Portland
