I've been flying southwest out of Columbus for over a decade. There seem to be no direct flights from Columbus anywhere now. Always through MDW or BWI..... When will direct routes be added back. Really getting tired of this

Southwest is adding new routes all while also trying to ensure it can keep it's planes full enough to have a healthy cash flow. That means big adjustments in schedules. My home airport is in Nashville, and while we have a ton of non-stops, we have fewer numbers of non-stops on any given day due to demand. These changes are common across the industry, but you may feel them more with SW as it uses less of a hub and spoke model; traditionally, they don't operate mainly through hubs and offer many direct/non-stop options.
One could guess that as travel picks back up, the frequency of non-stop flights could as well, but that also may not be true depending on SW's strategic plans for Columbus.
There are non-stops/direct options that do still exist for CMH: BNA, MCO, HOU, PHX -- these are just a few I found quickly.
Since this is a customer community, feel free to reach out to SW directly to share your concerns.

Due to how Southwest operates as more of point to point carrier, I think Columbus has a lot of Saturday/Sunday only flights for leisure travel and daily to their main airports of Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Nashville, St. Louis
