Southwest announces seasonal flight changes

McCarran International Airport’s biggest carrier announced several seasonal flight adjustments for its January and February schedules.

Southwest Airlines will add one daily flight each from Las Vegas to Baltimore and Salt Lake City in January, and two daily flights to Buffalo in February. The airline will drop one daily flight each in January and February to Albuquerque, N.M.; Denver; Los Angeles; Oakland, Calif.; Seattle; and St. Louis.

Brad Hawkins, a Southwest spokesman, said the adjustments are standard seasonal schedule tweaks. Hawkins also noted that Las Vegas is the airline’s biggest destination, so companywide schedule changes reflect more additions and subtractions here than in other markets.

Nearly 470 of Southwest’s 3,200 daily flights go through McCarran.
