Southwest Airlines proudly serves Oakland International Airport.

Take a break from the shores of the Bay Area and let your adventurous side lead you to parts of the United States beyond California.

Perhaps this is the chance you’ve been waiting for to trade tall redwoods for skyscrapers, or find out for yourself which coast is truly the best-coast. Wherever you’ve been itching to explore, count on Southwest to help you get there.
