Southwest Airlines is set to broaden its reach from Cincinnati, unveiling plans for enhanced connectivity to Nashville, the renowned Music City.
Commencing June 4, Southwest will inaugurate nonstop flights to Nashville, available 5 times weekly on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as disclosed by Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). With Southwest being the sole carrier offering nonstop service, travelers will find it notably more convenient to access this cherished destination.
In tandem with this development, Southwest will augment its Cincinnati operations to Orlando, entering into competition with Frontier and Delta. Early June will witness the addition of two more flights to its current route, culminating in a total of 5 times weekly service on the designated days.
For both routes this summer, Southwest will deploy its Boeing 737-800 aircraft boasting 175 seats. Travelers keen to secure these flights from Cincinnati can do so through Southwest’s website, its mobile app, or by utilizing the services of the airline’s major credit card partner, Chase, by redeeming Ultimate Rewards points.
Southwest’s summer itinerary out of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport will encompass six destinations. Alongside Nashville and Orlando, the airline maintains nonstop service between Cincinnati and Baltimore, Chicago-Midway, Denver, and Phoenix.
The upsurge in nonstop flights by Southwest from this domestic airport, formerly a focal point for Delta Air Lines, heralds positive tidings for travelers. Concurrently, budget carrier Frontier Airlines has disclosed a significant expansion initiative from the airport, featuring nonstop service to an array of cities such as Boston, Charlotte, and Houston, slated to commence in May.
