WEST BAY — Southwest Airlines will begin nonstop service from Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) to Dallas Love Field (DAL) on March 7, airport officials announced Thursday.
The airline will kick off the new service as a weekly flight on Saturdays, but plans to move to a daily flight starting April 8 and continuing through the summer season.
“We are excited Southwest will offer our passengers a new nonstop flight option,” said Airport Executive Director Parker McClellan. “Dallas is a new and exciting destination for our passengers, and with a short flight time of only two hours, it makes visiting Panama City Beach much more convenient option.”
ECP also will welcome new two new airlines, United Airlines and Silver Airways, next month. Tickets for the new Dallas flight, along with tickets to Southwest's other destinations from ECP, can be purchased online at Southwest.com.
