MILWAUKEE (March 13, 2023) – Southwest Airlines has announced that it will add daily nonstop flight frequencies between Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) and existing key nonstop markets throughout 2023:
- Beginning May 7, Southwest is adding additional daily roundtrips between Milwaukee and Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Nashville.
- Daily nonstop flights between MKE and Kansas City resume July 11.
- Throughout the summer and fall, Southwest will add daily flight frequencies to the existing destinations of Atlanta, Denver, Fort Myers, Orlando, and St. Louis.
In addition, Southwest’s seasonal spring break service continues to these destinations:
- Seasonal daily nonstops between MKE and Sarasota run through April 10.
- Saturday-only seasonal flights between MKE and Cancun, Mexico run through April 8.
“As MKE’s largest carrier, it’s great to see that Southwest continues to restore routes that were reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. These restorations include a mix of business and leisure destinations that see strong travel demand from Milwaukee,” Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. “Community support – in the form of using our hometown airport for these and other destinations – is critical to keeping this service and growing our airport in the future.”
Southwest’s schedule has been extended through November 4, 2023, and tickets are available for purchase now at southwest.com or the Southwest mobile app.
Southwest serves 16 nonstop destinations from MKE, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Cancun, Dallas, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando, Phoenix, Sarasota, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington DC.
