Southwest Airlines Adding More Mexico Flights

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - July 18, 2016

Southwest Airlines is expanding its network to Mexico, the company announced this week.

The carrier, which has been expanding rapidly to both Mexico and the wider Caribbean region, will be launching new nonstop flights between Oakland and both San Jose del Cabo and Puerto Vallarta.

The new flights are set to launch February 2017.

“Linking the San Francisco Bay Area to these popular Mexican beach resort areas with time-­ saving itineraries brings our Customers low-­fare and high-­value service that is an exciting addition to our growing international portfolio,” said Leah Koontz, Southwest Vice President who announced the proposed flights to gathered guests and media near the carrier’s Oakland Ticket Counter. “We’re adding nonstop service that extends the reach of Oakland’s convenient airport experience to two top-­ranking international destinations without a nonstop option.”
