Southwest Airlines extended its bookable flight schedule through April 24, 2022, giving travelers the ability to plan and book their early 2022 travel.
The carrier is expanding its network of service next year between key business and leisure destinations, bringing nearly two-dozen new flights to Austin, offering additional options for Hawaii travelers and adding routes between the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Southwest plans to increase service to 46 destinations on up to 105 departures a day from Austin, starting on March 10, 2022. New destinations include Amarillo, Charleston, Columbus, Midland/Odessa and Ontario, California.
The airline plans to start new international service between Austin and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on March 12, 2022, with seasonal weekly flights to Panama City Beach, Sarasota/Bradenton and Destin/Fort Walton Beach also scheduled to start that day.
"We're celebrating a growing customer base in Central Texas with this major investment designed specifically for Austin's business and leisure travelers," Southwest Vice President Dave Harvey said. "As we continue to strengthen our network in Austin, customers will see more flights on key routes as well as new destinations across our map, while enjoying Southwest's world-famous hospitality."
Travelers heading to Hawaii will also have more flight options beginning on February 17, 2022, with additional connections made possible by increased service on existing routes from Phoenix, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, San Diego and Sacramento.
