Southwest Airlines is dropping nearly 20 nonstop routes in January to free up planes for flights with stronger demand.
Airlines routinely eliminate flights with weaker-than-expected performance but don’t trumpet the cutbacks like they do new flights. Southwest’s flight cuts were part of its latest schedule extension.
Effective Jan. 6, Southwest will eliminate nonstop flights between the following cities:
- Los Angeles-Cancun, Mexico
