Southwest adding flight to New Orleans

Southwest Airlines is adding a seasonal flight to New Orleans from Pittsburgh International Airport.

The flight, announced today, will operate on Sundays from March 19 through May 7. The expectation is that the service will resume during the same period in 2018.

“They’re going to see how it performs,” airport spokeswoman Alyson Walls said.
