Southwest Airlines Is Adding a New Route to Cancun

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 13, 2020 - 9:53 pm

The Mexican Caribbean has seen some of the strongest travel demand of any regional destination amid the pandemic, leading to a surge in both route resumptions and new routes.

The latter now includes another launch, with Southwest Airlines’ announcement that it will be adding a new route to Cancun from Phoenix in March.

Beginning March 11, 2021, the low-cost carrier will be running daily flights between Phoenix and Cancun, the company said this week.

That will join Southwest’s existing service from Phoenix to popular Mexican destinations including Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta.
