Southwest adding Tucson flights to San Jose, Las Vegas, Oakland

Tucson fliers will have more options to travel nonstop to San Jose, California, and other destinations this fall, as Southwest Airlines beefs up its flight schedule at Tucson International Airport.

Southwest’s new nonstop flights between Tucson and San Jose are scheduled to operate Sundays through Fridays starting Nov. 4, with flights departing Tucson at 12:15 p.m. and returning at 4:25. Fares start at $94 one way.

Tucson was without nonstop service to San Jose from 2004 until last year, when Alaska Airlines began daily service to the Silicon Valley city in August.

The new Southwest flight is part of the airline’s continued expansion of flights to and from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, TIA noted.
