Pack those bags: Southwest’s 2 newest flights out of Sacramento are here
As reported by The Bee last fall, Southwest announced plans to add nonstop routes from Sacramento to at least five new cities this spring. According to Southwest's website, the Cabo flights are scheduled to depart every Saturday at 7 a.m. Three other routes are set to begin in the next two months: Austin, Texas, and St. Southwest also announced, last October, that it plans to offer flights to Hawaii sometime in 2018. Travelers to those new destinations could benefit from the "Southwest Effect," which notes that routes tend to see an increase in the amount of flights offered across all airlines, as well as lower fares, after Southwest picks them up.
