Southwest Extends Schedule
Southwest Airlines announced today that it has extended its flight schedule through Aug. 4, 2024. The carrier is also bringing new international service and expansive growth throughout its network, reaching an all-time high of 4,526 departures.
When Southwest announces an extension to their schedule, many loyal customers are eager to book, since it is the largest domestic carrier in the country, and often offers the lowest prices on many routes. It’s a good idea to start looking for travel dates early, especially for peak travel times. With the recent spike in travel demand and fare prices, you should jump on it now if you have travel plans. With Southwest’s refund policy, there’s not much to worry about. Flights are available for booking at Southwest.com.
