Southwest Airlines has announced an expansion of its flight offerings, extending its booking calendar through October 1, 2025. The airline is set to introduce new and returning domestic routes starting August 5, with a focus on Orlando International Airport (MCO). This development includes the addition of a new route from Orlando to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), entering a market currently dominated by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines.

The Orlando-Los Angeles route will feature one daily flight until October 1. Southwest's schedule indicates varying departure times throughout the week. Other routes departing from Orlando include Miami International Airport and Sarasota, each with two daily flights.

In addition to these new services, Southwest will launch a route between Nashville Airport (BNA) and Louisville (SDF) six times weekly. A seasonal service between Phoenix (PHX) and Santa Barbara (SBA) will also begin on August 10, operating once weekly on Sundays.
