Southwest Launches This New 6-Hour Florida Route In 1 Week: See Map Now
Third carrier on the route adds competition as JetBlue and Alaska operate seasonal nonstop flights for winter travel.
Southwest Airlines has announced a new nonstop route from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, expanding its domestic network with a year-level seasonal service. The operation will connect FLL to SAN on a regular basis for a limited period this coming winter.
The service will be conducted by Southwest, which markets itself as the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 737 family, aligning with its current fleet strategy for this route. The route will be part of a seasonal offering rather than a year-round schedule.
The start date for the new service is scheduled for November 21, with the seasonal operation running through January 3. The schedule is described as a temporary addition designed to serve demand during the winter travel window.
This information comes from Simple Flying, which notes Southwest’s ongoing network expansion and its emphasis on utilizing a robust Boeing 737 fleet for its domestic routes. No further details about flight numbers, frequencies, or operational specifics are provided in the material.
