Long Beach Airport gets another Southwest
flight to Hawaii
Southwest Airlines announced another flight to Hawaii from the Long Beach Airport today. The announcement on
its expansion into the Hawaiian air market included expanding flights from
airports that it already provides flights to the islands and new cities that

Beach will be the third for Southwest with service beginning June 23, 2021. Hawaiian Airlines also has two flights from Long Beach.
