Southwest Airlines is ramping up its non-stop flight options at Kansas City International Airport starting this weekend with a new flight out of Jamaica.
Starting this Saturday (October 7), the airline will launch new weekly non-stop flights to Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica as well as the Los Cabos International Airport in San José del Cabo, Mexico.
The expanded flights to these two destinations comes just in time for winter, which is a popular tourist season, particularly in Jamaica. The Montego Bay flights will depart Kansas City at 11:35 am on Saturdays, and returning flights will land in Kansas City at 4:25 pm on Saturdays.
Jamaica has been seeing increasing airlifts in and out of the country over the past year with many airlines ramping up service. In the meantime, South West Airlines Cabo flights will take off from Kansas City at 10:40 a.m. on Saturdays, and returning flights will arrive at 5:25 pm on Saturdays.
Travelers taking the first departing flights on Saturday will be in for a treat, including Caribbean-themed décor, live music, trivia, limbo, hula hoop and more.
Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas is excited at the move saying, “Kansas Citians are excited to travel to beautiful destinations including Cabo, Jamaica, and so many more. I am thrilled to see this announcement and thank Southwest for its continued investment in Kansas City.”
Southwest Airlines will also expand service to Cancún International Airport with daily non-stop flights, starting Thursday. The airline’s daily flight to Cancún will leave at 10:30 am, and flights back to Kansas City will arrive at 5:10 pm.
