Southwest Airlines will launch four domestic routes and three international routes from Austin, Nashville and Sacramento beginning early next year.
Beginning March 6, 2025, Southwest will open four new domestic routes, namely Austin-Milwaukee, Austin-Reno, Nashville-Indianapolis and Sacramento-Tucson. Each of these new routes will be served with Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
The new Austin-Milwaukee service will be offered only on weekdays and will connect Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) with Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE). The Austin-Reno route will connect AUS Airport and Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), but with less frequent flights.
The route, which connects Nashville International Airport (BNA) to Indianapolis International Airport (IND), will offer daily flights between the two cities. The airline will also introduce new weekend flights between Sacramento, California, and Tucson, Arizona, connecting Sacramento International Airport (SMF) to Tucson International Airport (TUS).
Effective March 8, 2025, Southwest will offer two new international routes connecting the United States and Mexico. The Nashville-Los Cabos route will connect BNA Airport with Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), while the Sacramento-Puerto Vallarta route will connect SMF Airport with Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). Both flights will operate on Saturdays only.
Starting on the same date, Southwest will also open a new route between the United States and the Dominican Republic. The service will connect the cities of Nashville (BNA) and Punta Cana (PUJ) and will operate only on Saturdays.
In addition, Southwest plans to offer more night flights starting March 6, 2025. Passengers will then be able to use night flights from Denver, San Diego and Sacramento.
Southwest currently serves 117 destinations in the United States and 10 other countries.
