Southwest Airlines is adding nonstop flights from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City, Florida, beginning next March.
The addition will offer seasonal service between Milwaukee and Panama City on Saturdays from March 13 through April 3.
Existing seasonal spring break service from Milwaukee to Miami and Sarasota will be expanded from Saturday-only to both Saturdays and Sundays from March 13 through April 3.
International flights between Milwaukee and Cancun, Mexico, will also be offered on both Saturdays and Sundays during spring break.
“We know there is high demand for flights to the Florida Panhandle during the spring break period. This new service will provide an outstanding nonstop option for families to enjoy an affordable beach vacation this coming winter,” Airport Director Brian Dranzik said in a statement. “By using these new flights, we can show our largest carrier that we support flight additions from MKE, which can make it easier for airlines to add more flights in the future.”
Southwest Airlines added Austin and San Diego to its routes in 2025. Southwest now offers nonstop flights to 20 destinations from Milwaukee.
