Southwest Airlines is going all-in on the summer of vaccinated travel.

A countrywide expansion is seeing 31 new routes added to the airline's already-sprawling leisure network with the hopes of getting more travelers to ditch road trips and get back in the skies this summer. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a major focus of the expansion and is getting its first routes since Southwest announced service to the beach town in early March.

Austin, Texas, is also in Southwest's crosshairs with seven new routes to keep up with expanding competition. The tech boomtown has most recently been the target of American Airlines, which recently announced 10 new and expanding routes from Austin.

But travelers don't have to live in or frequent Austin and Myrtle Beach to get in on the action as Southwest is adding new point-to-point routes between secondary cities and popular vacation spots.

Returning Southwest flyers will also notice the airline has brought back some of its pre-pandemic amenities. Passengers now board aircraft in groups of 30 instead of groups of 10 and soft drinks including Coke, Diet Coke, and 7UP are now being served in addition to ice water during the in-flight service.
