SAN DIEGO (CNS) - This fall, Southwest Airlines will begin offering twice-daily flights between San Diego International Airport and Fresno Yosemite International Airport, it was announced.
The flights begin Oct. 2 and will operate from Phase 1A of the New Terminal 1, scheduled to open in September.
Additionally, in October, Southwest will expand service to Tampa, Florida from once a week on Saturdays to five days a week on Thursdays through Mondays. Four seasonal routes to Colorado Springs, Colorado; Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee; and San José Del Cabo, Mexico will extend to the October schedule.
"The announcement of these new routes from our New T1 is extremely exciting as we work towards the opening of the first phase," said Kimberly Becker, president and CEO of San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
