Southwest Airlines Announces Non-Stop Service from PalmSprings to Las Vegas!

Palm Springs, California – Southwest Airlines has announced new non-stop service from Palm Springs to
Las Vegas!
The new year-round Las Vegas service will start on Sunday, May 9, 2021 and will initially operate
once a day on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays. In June Southwest will expand the route and
provide Coachella Valley residents with one daily non-stop flight to Las Vegas seven days a week.
The Las Vegas route will bring their total destinations served from Palm Springs to four including
Denver, Phoenix, and Oakland. Southwest started flying to Palm Springs in November of 2020, which
was their first ever entry into the Coachella Valley.
“A direct flight from Palm Springs to Las Vegas has been high on the wish list of our residents,
tourism and hospitality partners for the last decade,” said City Manager David H. Ready, who noted the
new route is expected to be a tremendous economic tourism driver for the Coachella Valley. “We are
delighted Southwest Airlines recognizes that Palm Springs and Las Vegas are two wildly popular resort
destinations that should be connected — and the City Council is appreciative of their continued investment
in Palm Springs International Airport.”
“Just a few months into serving Palm Springs we’re bringing more Heart with the addition of a
once daily nonstop journey across the desert to Las Vegas this summer,” said Kelly Knox, Southwest
Airlines Community Outreach Leader for California. “With our nearly 200 flights to 60 cities nonstop from
Las Vegas, this quick hop puts more people from across the country within quick reach of all the
Coachella Valley has to offer, and helps locals save time in starting vacations, visits with family and
friends, or doing business.”
