Southwest Airlines Begins New Nonstop Service to Houston-Hobby

GREER, S.C.—Today, Southwest Airlines began new nonstop service from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) to Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). Southwest’s service provides easy connections to top destinations in the western U.S. and access to dozens of additional domestic and international destinations via Houston.

The new service will operate four times weekly (Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday) in November and December and operate six times weekly (except Saturday) beginning in January 2021.

“Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport remains poised for growth, in spite of complications due to the coronavirus pandemic” said Dave Edwards, President and CEO of GSP. “We are pleased that Southwest Airlines continues to see opportunity and invest in the Upstate. We encourage travelers to take advantage of Southwest’s low fares and quality service.”

Flights will operate daily on 143-seat Boeing 737 aircraft. Tickets for these flights can be purchased now at Southwest.com. The new service to Houston complements the airline’s existing daily nonstop flights to Atlanta, GA and Baltimore, MD.

“The launch of this new nonstop route is another sign that aviation is beginning to recover.  We are excited to offer this much sought-after destination to our passengers and improved access to the places they visit most,” said Scott Carr, GSP’s Vice President of Commercial Business and Communications.
