Southwest is adding a Northern California airport to its route network.
The carrier announced Wednesday that it will start serving Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport, located near Santa Rosa, on April 7, 2026.
Southwest will connect Sonoma County with San Diego, Las Vegas, Denver, and Burbank, California. The San Diego and Las Vegas routes are set to operate daily, and there will be two San Diego round-trip on peak days. The Burbank route will operate five days a week and the Denver route will operate on Saturdays only.
Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport is known for its decor celebrating the long-running comic strip Peanuts. It is named for the strip’s creator, who lived in Santa Rosa.
“We aren’t slowing down in our pursuit to provide customers with more options than ever before,” said Southwest COO Andrew Watterson. “Adding Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport to our route map provides more access to California’s famed Wine Country for our customers and further solidifies our years-long commitment to California.”
Sonoma County will be Southwest’s 14th destination in California. Airline officials pointed out that the new flights will give Northern California travelers access to the new Terminal 1 at San Diego International Airport and the renovated and expanded Hollywood Burbank Airport.
