SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — Southwest Airlines announced it will be adding additional flights just in time for the summer, including more options for California travel.

Beginning June 5 — the major airline will offer San Diego travelers more California service with 20-weekday flights to both San Jose and Sacramento and 14-weekday flights to Oakland. There will also be new services for Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, and the Caribbean.

“For a gamut of travelers seeking business opportunity, faraway fun, or family time, these new routes and additional flights put the Hospitality and value of Southwest Airlines in front of more of our customers,” said Andrew Watterson, Executive Vice President, and Chief Commercial Officer. “We recently extended our flight schedule to early November, and we’re making available new service sooner for planning early summertime journeys.”

The airline said in a press release Tuesday the announcement will continue to build on its 20-year commitment as the largest carrier for California travelers. Southwest is working to set up a summer flight schedule that offers more flights in key markets up and down the state, including these weekday schedules:

  • San Diego and Sacramento – up to 20 times each way;
  • San Diego and San Jose – up to 20 times each way;
  • San Diego and Oakland – up to 14 times each way.
