Direct flights from Detroit to NYC

Why aren’t there direct flights between Detroit and NYC? These are major cities and it would seem there would be enough demand to support this route. I personally choose other airlines when flying this trip given the connection and longer travel needed when using Southwest. I would love if this were an option and think many people would agree.

I agree. Would love to see NYC as a nonstop route. Surprised it is not one.

I would also love to see a direct flight from NYC (any of 3 airports) to Detroit. I fly there monthly, have the Southwest Companion Pass, but also hate having to spend 5 hours each way for weekend trips.

Currently, Southwest only flies out of 2 of the 3 major NYC airports (Newark and LGA). You can always share your thoughts by tweeting the airline (@SouthwestAir) or by giving the folks a call. The teams are always looking to understand customer needs when it comes to routes.

 

Personally, I was annoyed when the direct flight from Newark to South Florida (FLL) was cut. But hey, hopefully it'll come back.

 

 

Safe travels,
