SUPER SERVICE TO THE BIG GAME!

Now that the whole world knows which teams will be "duking it out" at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on February 1, Southwest is adding a few extra flights to help make getting to and from beautiful Tampa Bay during "Super Bowl Weekend" easier. 

Saturday, January 31:

Added flight 2618, departing Phoenix at 7:50 a.m., arriving nonstop in Tampa Bay at 1:40 p.m.

Added flight 1800, departing Tampa at 2:05 p.m., arriving nonstop in Pittsburgh at 4:25 p.m.

Added flight 2004, departing Pittsburgh at 4:55 p.m., arriving nonstop in Tampa Bay at 7:35 p.m.

Monday, February 2:

Added flight 2030, departing Tampa Bay at 9:50 a.m., arriving nonstop in Pittsburgh at 12:05 p.m.

Added flight 2262, departing Pittsburgh at 12:35 p.m., arriving nonstop in Tampa Bay at 3:15 p.m.

Added flight 2608, departing Tampa Bay at 3:45 p.m., arriving nonstop in Phoenix at 6:35 p.m.

 

Whether you're a Steelers fan or a Cardinals diehard (or if you just know a good party when you see it!) your ride to Tampa Bay is now available to book at www.southwest.com or by calling 1-800-I-FLY-SWA.  And if you're lucky enough to have tickets to the game, don't worry--you can watch all the crazy new commercials when you get home.  On YouTube.   *grin*

Are you using a single plane for these flights? The times between flights look suspiciously turn-like.

Drew, where were you when we were looking to expand the Schedule Planning Department? You're exactly right--it's one aircraft that originates in Phoenix on Friday, flies PHX-TPA-PIT-TPA, then stays in TPA until Monday, when it does the reverse routing--TPA-PIT-TPA-PHX. Good eyes, bud!

Wow, wait to be late to the game. Superbowl demand is already dwindling, why didn't WN add these flights on Sunday night?

Hey Bill, you probably should have mentioned that Orlando is a good alternative airport since it is about an hour drive to Tampa. Orlando also has plenty of hotels as well which will probably cost less than the Tampa area. Also, any chance that Southwest will expand at Palm Beach? SWA only goes to about half of the cities it serves in one stop or less.
