Southwest Airlines announced several new routes across the U.S. with many being added to/from Nashville, TN as well as a few other airpots

With this announcement, their new schedule is also posted, which means customers can book flights now through Aug. 5, 2019. However, one thing to point out is that the airline still hasn’t started to sell flights to Hawaii, which is partially due to aircraft certification needed for these over-water flights.

Here’s a look at some of the new routes that are being added:

• Nashville and Burbank
• Nashville and San Jose, Calif.
