A quick schedule surprise--we're adding service beginning at summer's end! One seasonal market that's being extended ... and two brand new routes that tie two of our newest markets to one of our oldest and most successful ones.
When we announced the seasonal resumption of nonstop Baltimore/Washington(BWI)-Los Angeles(LAX) service starting on May 9, we planned to end it again on August 13. But WOW! Our bookings have been so strong that we're going to continue with one roundtrip, nonstop BWI-LAX flight that will continue on through at least October 30. After that? We'll see!
Out in Phoenix (PHX), we're adding new nonstop service to Minneapolis/St. Paul (two roundtrip nonstops begin effective August 15th) as well as between PHX and Boston/Logan (one daily roundtrip nonstop starts September 7th). Both new markets will provide GREAT connectivity to/from the West Coast for our Customers in the Twin Cities and Boston, but both are large nonstop markets in and of themselves.
These new markets are available for sale right now at southwest.com. Happy booking, guys--and have a great week!

How about some MKE-DEN Flights for MKE-MSP flights.....Show some LUV to MKE
I would just highly recommend some service through Palm Springs International Airprot.
I think the following routes would be beneficial:
PSP-LAS (both ways)
PSP-SAN
PSP-SJC
PSP-SAC
PSP-CHICAGO
PSP-NEW YORK
In other words, Palm Springs needs more affordable, reliable service. As of now, folks have to drive 2 hours to Ontario, San Diego, or LAX in order to fly Southwest.
Bill,
We need a special DAL-LBB-DAL flight added on Sunday, 9/5. Let's depart 9:30 am and return 8:30 pm. Lots of Mustangs (and Red Raiders) want a day trip to see SMU-Texas Tech. Not interested in spending 2 nights in Lubbock.
Thanks,
SS
What about a PHX-BOI non stop?!? :)
LUV the non-stop to LAX from BWI!!! Would also LUV to see some flights to the south like to South Carolina or Georgia. Now that would be great!
COLUMBIA, SC NEEDS SOME SOUTHWEST LUV! I live in Chicago so I am blessed with a great Southwest hub and loads of other options I try to avoid. Currently, I have been flying into RDU and driving 3 hours to Columbia. It is getting old. There are so many reasons that Columbia would make great home for WN. It's a capitol city with lots of government and corporate travel. It is a city that is growing. It is located centrally in the state with good highway access for both business and pleasure travelers. It is home to the University of SC with 28,000 students as well as some smaller colleges right in Columbia. The state also has several universities outside of Columbia. Columbia is home to Fort Jackson the largest army training facility in the US. South Carolina has been one of fastest growing retiree populations in the country. South Carolina draws golfers from all over the country year round to play courses. Columbia has a great little terminal thats clean and attractive but with only a few flights a day and expensive everyone goes to CLT and hour and a half away.Come on Southwest give Columbia some LUV and grab some market share in this underserved part of the country. Oh, and I personally would love direct access from Chicago!
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
Thank you for continuing the BWI-LAX flight. This is a great development! Please bring more coast-to-coast flights to BWI.
Many great comments but my vote is behind a South Carolina airport. About 10 years ago I wrote LUV and said they needed to add a Greenville-Spartanburg location. Then you can pick up the peopel from Charlotte (90 min), Columbia (less than 2 hours), northern GA (hour-plus) and western NC. There are many destinations within 1 to 2 hours of that airport.
Second choice would be Columbia. Its less than 2 hours to Chas., Myrtle Beach, GSP, Hilton Head, Augusta, and Charlotte. And the flight costs to those cities are $$$$$s!
In fact 3 non-stops from Nashville (BNA) would be a great start. You could connect to Houston, Chicago, and the West Coast with multiple non-stops.
i would like to see the lax and oak flights back at phl and any other ones you wish to give us.
Can we get more direct flights between LAX and RNO - or add a BUR to RNO? There are only 3 a day from LAX to RNO and every time I fly on them they are either 100% booked or overbooked!!! Let's get at least 1 a day between BUR and RNO!!!
