Southwest Airlines on Thursday announced plans to fly to Puerto Rico, giving the carrier its first-ever route to a destination outside the mainland United States.
The carrier will begin flying to San Juan on April 14 with three daily round-trip flights from Orlando and one from Tampa.
The Southwest service will replace service currently operated by its AirTran subsidiary, which Southwest acquired in 2011 and is gradually assimilating into its own network.
