"Nonstop service to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport begins Oct. 3. The flight will operate on Saturdays and on a seasonal basis, according to Sonoma County officials. An announcement appeared on the county's Instagram account over the weekend. A quick search on Southwest's online site showed bookings available for its nonstop service beginning Oct. 3 with a three-and-a-half hour flight out of Sonoma County departing at 11:10 a.m. and arriving in Austin at 4:45 p.m."
"When Southwest first announced in September that it would begin service at the Santa Rosa facility, Stout said the partnership with the airline had been in the works for 15 years. It didn't happen sooner for reasons that included the airport's runway having been too short for the carrier's aircraft. That was resolved, and Southwest also made changes in its network and planning."
Southwest Airlines will add seasonal nonstop service between Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport beginning Oct. 3, operating on Saturdays. The scheduled flight is about three-and-a-half hours, departing STS at 11:10 a.m. and arriving in Austin at 4:45 p.m. Southwest will debut at the Santa Rosa airport April 7 with nonstop routes to Burbank, San Diego, Las Vegas and Denver. The carrier earlier expanded Denver service from Saturdays-only to five days a week starting Aug. 26. Airport officials said the partnership took 15 years, with runway length and network planning as factors.
