Southwest Airlines announced today it will begin nonstop service again from OKC Will Rogers International Airport to Dallas Love Field Airport starting March 5, 2026.
There will be two flights daily to Dallas Love Field.
“I know Oklahoma City will be happy to hear that Dallas Love Field flights are returning,” Director of Airports Jeff Mulder said. “Southwest Airlines served the route until January 2020, and it has been a frequent request of local travelers to bring that flight back. We appreciate Southwest’s ongoing commitment to our community and passengers.”
Additionally, Southwest announced an increase in flights from Oklahoma City to Nashville and Chicago Midway, with service expanding to twice daily beginning in March 2026. In addition to adding flights, they are also withdrawing service from St. Louis and San Antonio next spring.
Flights are on sale now and may be booked through www.southwest.com.
