Overview
- Southwest, which launched at Santa Rosa on Tuesday, April 7, now flies nonstop to San Diego, Las Vegas, Burbank and Denver.
- The schedule runs daily to San Diego and Las Vegas, five days a week to Burbank, and Saturdays to Denver.
- A Sip and Ship program starts April 24 that lets each traveler check one case of wine for free if they depart select West Coast wine-country airports.
- The free case can hold up to 12 unopened bottles under 50 pounds in a proper wine shipping box or wine suitcase that a Southwest agent inspects at check-in.
- Airport leaders project a 30% jump in available seats this year and say Southwest’s arrival could lower fares and draw more Wine Country visitors.
