Southwest Airlines has revealed launch dates for a host of new flights out of Houston’s William P Hobby Airport.

The company announced this week that it would be launching daily, nonstop Houston-Belize service on Oct. 15.

Southwest also launch flights from Houston to Cancun on that date.

On Nov, 1, the carrier will be launching service to Montego Bay, Jamaica and Liberia, Costa Rica.

The flights, which were first announced in December 2014, are part of major expansion plans for Southwest at Hobby airport.

That includes a $156 million international concourse project at Hobby.

In March, Southwest began operating flights from Houston to Aruba as well.
