Special Routes

Need a charter for a sports team or something else? We have you covered with our Southwest Charter routes just file a request and we will have an aircraft ready for you! Need to go from San Diego to Los Angeles quickly? We can do that. 

From time to time our aircraft need to go in for a maintence check. Wether the aircraft is just in for a check or a engine overhaul and needs a test flight our pilots will help get them back up and running. By flying the Southwest Maintence routes you will be able to fly a empty aircraft on pattern work to make sure its safe for all of our LUVly customers to fly on again.

Who doesnt LUV the new plane smell? When we buy new planes from Boeing we need a way to get them to our bases and out to our customers. For each aircraft that is delivered we send a pilot up to Boeing Field where they can get the plane and fly it to one of our hubs so it can get introduced to service. Upon landing the pilot will park at the Maintence Hangar where our team will have it ready to fly with heart within 72 hours.

When an aircraft needs to be moved without passengers we use the Southwest Ferry system. With this system a pilot will pickup a empty plane anywhere is the US and fly it back to a base or where its needed next! Some of these flights could be as long as Honolulu-Dallas or Hayden-Los Angeles. Either way these pilots work to move our aircraft from one location to another so our customers can always have a ontime departure.
