Sacramento, CA, February 12, 2014 – Southwest will begin its first-ever daily, nonstop service between Sacramento (SMF) and Dallas Love Field (DAL) on April 8, airport officials have announced. Sacramento passengers can currently fly nonstop into Dallas via Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport. The new route offers an alternative airport that gives travelers easy access to the city of Dallas, as Love Field is located just six miles from downtown Dallas.

Southwest Airlines is Sacramento International Airport’s largest carrier, offering more than 60 flights a day from its home in Terminal B.
