In a bid to cope with peak travel demand during the holiday season, Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV - Free Report) has announced several new and ramped up services.
Southwest strengthens its presence across Northern California by aiming to offer up to 98 departures per day from San Jose, CA to several destinations across the United States and Mexico, this month-end. To this end, the carrier recently began nonstop operations between San Jose and Tucson, AZ with the planes plying from Sundays to Fridays. Additionally, the airline has increased the frequency of flights connecting San Jose with Portland, OR to eight roundtrips on weekdays, reflecting an increase of two flights per weekday. Meanwhile, the frequency between San Jose and Orange County/Santa Ana has been augmented by one flight each weekday to 11 roundtrips.
The carrier has also begun nonstop flights from Burbank connecting Houston (Hobby) and Chicago (Midway). Services on these routes are available from Sundays to Fridays.
Further, expanding its footprint across the Washington, DC's Reagan National airport, the carrier has initiated a service between Oklahoma City and Washington, DC (Reagan National). Moreover, it has bumped up services connecting Washington, D.C. (Reagan National) with Nashville and Dallas by an additional flight to four and five weekday roundtrips, respectively.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
