When you travel to Disney World, do you fly? We would guess that a lot of our readers do.
That’s why it’s important to stay on top of what airlines are doing to make sure you’re getting the best deals, know about discounts, and have details about new service to and from Orlando International Airport. Now, we’ve got a NEW flight to tell you about that can take you to Disney World!
Southwest Airlines will soon offer non-stop flights to and from El Paso, Texas. Orlando International Airport tweeted about the new service, which will be weekly.
Tex-citing news incoming! 🥳 Our partners @SouthwestAir will begin weekly service to El Paso, TX starting September 9th. Take in scenic views at gorgeous parks, explore historic sites, and enjoy delicious foods – you're sure to LUV it here! 🫶

You’ll have to wait until fall, September 9th, to take advantage of the new flights, but if you’re heading to Disney World anytime after that, you now have another option (and more options are good!). That is, of course, if you’re still willing to fly on Southwest after its holiday meltdown (the good news is that operations have returned to normal and the airline has said it’s committed to preventing that from happening again).
In the meantime, Southwest continues to offer new flights to and from Orlando International Airport, including this new flight, and we expect other new routes could be announced soon! So stay tuned to DFB for more!
