Summary

Southwest Airlines is adding flights to two popular sunny destinations, Las Vegas and Orlando, following the collapse of Spirit Airlines. The airline will increase flight options on dozens of routes from Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and Orlando International Airport (MCO), with four new routes starting in March 2027. Southwest was already the largest carrier at both LAS and MCO, and the move plays to its strength.
