Southwest Airlines Co., which announced its first international destinations in late January, said Monday that it will begin service to Mexico in August.
Southwest will take over the international service from subsidiary AirTran Airways Inc. on Aug. 10.
Southwest will begin flights to Cancun from Atlanta, Baltimore and Milwaukee, and to Cabo San Lucas from Orange County, Calif. In October, it will add flights to the two Mexican cities from Denver.
The Dallas-based carrier extended its schedule from Aug. 9 to Oct. 31. However, as Southwest scheduler Bill Owen took note in the airline’s “Nuts About Southwest” blog, the new schedule left unanswered some big questions.
