Southwest Airlines took a step toward becoming an international carrier this week with the announcement that it would begin daily service to Aruba, the Bahamas and Jamaica this summer.
The news – perfectly timed to entice chilly travelers hunkering down amid winter storms — begins the airline's "international conversion plan," according to a release from the company, which has Southwest gradually taking over international flights to the Caribbean from its subsidiary, AirTran Airways.
Beginning July 1, Southwest will offer daily nonstop service from airports in Atlanta, Baltimore-Washington and Orlando to Aruba, Nassau and Montego Bay.
AirTran will continue its current service between the United States and Nassau in the Bahamas; Montego Bay in Jamaica; Cancún, Mexico City and Los Cabos in Mexico; and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic as the conversion is completed (the goal is by the end of 2014), said Brad Hawkins, a spokesman for Southwest, giving the airline a total of 96 destinations in six countries.
These "historic bookings," Gary Kelly, the airline's chief executive said at a press conference on Monday, begin the airline's "final lap in the journey to make possible our international future."
Bookings are currently available through Aug. 8.
