With the hopes for a relatively normal summer vacation season, Southwest Airlines announced the extension of its bookable flight schedule through August 16, 2021.

Southwest will begin nonstop service between Houston and five destinations on April 12, 2021, including Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Nashville and New Orleans. The carrier will serve the Mississippi airport through three nonstop routes to Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, and Houston starting on June 6, 2021.

Flights to the new airports are available for purchase now at Southwest’s official website.

The airline also announced new daily nonstop service between Long Beach, California, and five airports beginning March 11, 2021, including Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Reno and St. Louis.
