Southwest Airlines Adds 8 New Routes

13 Red Eye flights, 8 new routes, and more are added by Southwest Airlines.

Since 1971, Southwest Airlines (LUV) has operated flights. But the Dallas-based carrier only recently began offering redeye trips.

That decision was based on an old-school reservations system. That did not allow for flights that took off one day and landed the next. As well as the prioritizing of shorter routes between regional cities. (The reservation system was improved.)

But, as investors pressed the airline to be more lucrative. In September 2024, Southwest announced the launch of its first redeye flights. 

In February 2025, the first flights will depart from Las Vegas to Honolulu and Kona. Followed by flights from Phoenix in April. Southwest will also operate these red-eye flights in 2025.
