Southwest is rolling out new routes from two of its busiest hub locations – Las Vegas and Orlando, Florida.
The carrier said Monday that it is working to expand its presence in its most important markets. Some of the connections included in the airline’s announcement, such as Las Vegas to Santa Rosa, California, already came online earlier this year.
The remainder will start between this month and the spring of 2027.
The still-to-launch, previously unannounced routes from Las Vegas are: Anchorage, Alaska (May); Boston (March 2027); Cancun (June); Hilo, Hawaii (August); Knoxville, Tennessee (March 2027); Miami (March 2027); Philadelphia (March 2027); Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (October); San Jose del Cabo, Mexico (June); and San Jose, Costa Rica (October).
The new routes from Orlando are: Little Rock, Arkansas (June); San Jose, California (November); and Wichita, Kansas (June).
“Las Vegas and Orlando are foundational communities in our network, and places where Southwest long has offered the most service, seats, and nonstop travel options,” Southwest COO Andrew Watterson said in a news release. “We’re bringing more to our relationship in both places and adding to the hundreds of flights a day we already offer in both communities.”
Southwest also plans to add flights on existing routes from both Las Vegas and Orlando.
Austin, Texas; Burbank, California; Denver; Indianapolis; Kansas City; Los Angeles; Nashville, Tennessee; New Orleans; Oakland, California; Orange County, California; Orlando; Phoenix; Reno, Nevada; San Francisco; and Tampa, Florida, will all see increased connectivity to Las Vegas. The new flights will be added between the spring and fall of 2026, with Orange County coming online in March 2027.
Over roughly the same timeframe, Southwest will expand routes between Orlando and Albuquerque, New Mexico; Austin; Baltimore; Buffalo, New York; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Louisville, Kentucky; Memphis, Tennessee; Milwaukee; Nashville; New Orleans; Oklahoma City; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Rochester, New York; San Antonio, Texas; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
