@southwestair Announces New Hawaii Service from @lgbairport

Long Beach, CA – Southwest Airlines announced today that it will launch daily nonstop service from Long Beach Airport (LGB) to Honolulu beginning in March 2021. The new flight is Southwest’s only direct connection between Hawaii and the Greater Los Angeles area. Flights go on sale today at southwest.com. “Southwest Airlines continues to be an important partner at Long Beach Airport,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “Our airport is a key economic engine for our city and this is positive news for our financial recovery. We expect even more good news soon.”

The air carrier is expected to announce additional new destinations in the coming weeks, as part of a recent increase from 17 to 34 daily slots at LGB. Southwest is currently only operating approximately 16 daily flights but more flights will come online as demand for air travel returns.

“We are thrilled to be selected as the first airport in the Los Angeles metropolitan area to offer direct Southwest flights to Hawaii,” said Long Beach Airport Director Cynthia Guidry. “We believe there is no better way to start your Hawaiian vacation than with our open air concourse and resort-like atmosphere.”

Today’s news from Southwest Airlines was part of a nationwide schedule announcement as the airline seeks to adapt to fluctuating demand as a result of the ongoing pandemic. Leisure travel appears to be recovering more quickly than business travel.
