Southwest Airlines has announced the launch of new flights in response to growing demand and customer preferences. The new routes cover popular events and, for the first time, include redeye flights.

Expanding its offerings for football fans, Southwest Airlines, the official carrier of the Southeastern Conference, is adding additional flights for fans wishing to support their teams at away games.

Football fans are known for their loyalty and willingness to travel with their teams to support them under any conditions. This phenomenon has become a cultural trend that brings people from different parts of the country together. Trips to away games not only allow fans to see their favorite teams play live but also give them the opportunity to explore new cities and make friends with other fans.

At stadiums, you can find groups of supporters arriving with flags, banners, and wearing their team's jerseys. This creates a unique atmosphere and adds energy to the game, highlighting the importance of fans in sports events.

Additional Flights for Sports Events

Southwest Airlines is adding extra flights for college and professional football games in September 2024. This will allow fans to comfortably travel to the venues and support their teams at away games.

From Cold Climates to the Coast

For those dreaming of spending the winter in sunny locations, Southwest is adding flights starting January 7, 2025, connecting traditionally cold cities with the coasts of Florida and California. Among the new routes are flights from Columbus, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Providence to Miami, Palm Springs, and West Palm Beach.

Ready for Redeye Flights

Starting February 13, 2025, Southwest will launch its first redeye flights, arriving on Valentine's Day 2025. Initial routes include key markets such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, with flights to Baltimore, Washington, Orlando, and Nashville.

To ensure a comfortable journey, prepare for redeye flights in advance. It's essential to bring headphones, a sleep mask, and a comfortable pillow. A light dinner before the flight and avoiding caffeine can help you fall asleep faster on board. Additionally, if you plan to attend a football game, purchase tickets in advance and learn about the attractions in the city where the game will be held. This will allow you not only to support your team but also to fully enjoy the trip.
