On Thursday (October 8, 2020), Southwest Airlines announced new service to Miami, Palm Springs and Montrose (Telluride) Colorado with one-way fares from $39. The airline will launch new year-round service for Miami and Palm Springs starting November 15, 2020, while seasonal service to Montrose (Telluride) Colorado will start on December 19th. Southwest has also launched international service from Phoenix to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. In Thursday’s announcement, Southwest Airlines’ Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Vice President, Andrew Watterson, said,

"Our schedules for these new cities on the Southwest network thoughtfully link them to relevant nonstop destinations that also provide great connections, a comfortable journey with our unmatched flexibility, and our friendly policies. Southwest is stretching into new places to provide for two needs: desired options for our Customers who seek snow or sun, and wide-open spaces to enjoy a break from the unexpected that 2020 brought; and for our Company, critically-needed new business that offsets the diminished demand for travel across other parts of the country."
