Southwest Airlines’ Longest Nonstop Routes With The Boeing 737 MAX In 2025

US-based low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines operates an extremely unique network. The budget airline, which had been roughly unchanged operationally since its founding in the second half of the 20th century until recent interventions by activist investment manager Elliott Management, has historically thrived operating services to underserved destinations all across the United States. The airline operates flights from its bases (notably not major connecting hubs), where competition from legacy airlines is limited, and the target customers are everyday travelers. These kinds of passengers are those who typically prefer lower-cost, convenient service to the more expensive offerings of premium-oriented legacy airlines like United Airlines or Delta Air Lines.
