Pensacola to FLL/MIA/MCO

[68084424]

Any plans on adding a route from the Panhandle to South Florida? Many of us head down to enjoy the south, the drive is a bear and so is flying. I want to fly southwest but when I book it wants me to go to Houston first. 
We desperately need a nonstop flight to Miami or any close. Especially to Orlando for Disney 

thanks

You can certainly submit your suggestion directly to Southwest.  Use the contact us link below and send a message.

Looking at the current destinations from PNS it appears Southwest is more interested in getting people into the Southwest network, going to larger "hubs" where they can make connections to anywhere in the country rather than focusing on intra-Florida travel.  This is the typical scenario for smaller airports Southwest flies to.

We did that drive from TPA/SRQ area since it wasn't going to make sense to fly to HOU or BNA and then back to PNS. I might reconsider after driving it one time 🙂

PNS does really seem like a leisure destination from the north more than a business stop, but you can always us the Contact Southwest Customer Service and let them know you are interested.

It isn't inconcievable - right now the "hubs" that connect are HOU, DAL, STL, BWI, and my most common one BNA. Maybe ATL sometimes. So these could be supplemented with a flight from TPA or MCO and remove one of the others.

Coming from Chicago the HOU or DAL routes are just as far out of the way as MCO would be. BNA is right in line though so I don't see a mandate to add a Florida location.
