Southwest announces new spring and summer flight service to Florida from Pittsburgh

The company said it plans to offer weekly direct flights from Pittsburgh International Airport to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport starting on March 13.

Allegiant Air Inc. currently offers the same flight four times per week according to Blue Sky News, a publication of the Pittsburgh International Airport.
