Southwest Schedule Extension
Southwest Airlines extended its flight schedule today through November 4, 2023, and continues adding more service for customers.
Booking advanced reservations on Southwest can be difficult since the schedule is normally only available on average about 6 months out. Now, with this latest schedule extension, you can start planning your travels throughout the summer and early fall.
Besides extending the booking window, Southwest is also adding more flights.
More International Options for Kansas City

Both new routes complement the carrier’s existing service between Kansas City and Cancun which seasonally adjusts to daily service beginning Oct. 5, 2023.

More Flights Landing in Denver
Southwest is bringing more flights to Denver. Already its busiest airport operation, the carrier will grow even more with seven additional flights in October, offering up to 310 departures a day beginning on Oct. 5, 2023. As Southwest looks ahead to the fall, it’s also preparing to begin nonstop service on Saturdays between Denver and San Jose, Costa Rica, which launches this weekend.
