It’s official, Southwest Airlines will be coming to Northwest Florida along the Emerald Coast.  The new International Airport near Panama City will be the newest destination for Southwest customers beginning in May 2010.  Much of the credit should go to the St. Joe Company for their ongoing efforts to help bring Southwest to our area.  The details of specific flights have not been given, however more details will be released in December 2009. 

Southwest provides great low fares and will open up our area to countless new/returning visitors for years to come.  Port St. Joe (St. Joe Beach), Panama City Beach, Beaches of South Walton, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Pensacola Beach are just a few of the many areas that will be affected by this exciting development in the area.  Southern Resorts Vacation Rentals welcomes the addition of Southwest to our wonderful area and we look forward to more people being able to enjoy the powder white beaches and emerald water along Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast.
