"Chris Perry, a media representative for Southwest Airlines, stated that the SFO route is part of the airline's increasing investment into Hollywood Burbank in 2026, with additional routes planned for Santa Rosa and Honolulu."
"Perry expressed optimism about the Burbank-SFO route, noting, 'We see Burbank-SFO as a bellwether on the strength of intrastate business travel and the pandemic forced us to pull it down, so it's very exciting for us to return this route.'"
"The former 'Bob Hope' Airport is constructing a new terminal expected to open later this year, which has not disrupted the flying experience, making it a preferred option over LAX due to rising costs."
Southwest Airlines has resumed daily service from San Francisco International Airport to Hollywood Burbank Airport, a route previously discontinued in spring 2024. The service operates three times daily from Sunday to Friday and twice on Saturdays, with round-trip fares ranging from $200 to $250. The airline is optimistic about the route's performance and is conducting an analysis for future commitment. Additionally, a new terminal at Burbank Airport is set to open soon, enhancing travel convenience amid rising costs at LAX.
