Southwest Airlines newly extended schedule through April 8, 2024 has just been announced. So what does the airline giant have in mind as far as Southwest Hawaii flights are concerned?
Southwest does scheduling differently than other airlines. With the rest of the industry rolling out schedules of 330 days, Southwest incrementally releases flight plans, typically one month at a time. So while flights were previously bookable until March, as of today, you can book up to April 8.
A good time to book Hawaii spring vacations.
This is a time period that sells out quickly, especially for the lowest fares. Given their easy-peasy cancellation and change policies, this is an excellent time to get a plan set, then change it later if need be.
While Southwest flights are being added from Baltimore to exotic destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico and flights from there and St. Louis to Florida vacation spots, any Southwest Hawaii expansion was noticeably missing in their future plans.
Attractive Hawaii alternatives included in today’s announcement are Cabo San Lucas, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Panama City, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, and Turks and Caicos.
