Southwest Airlines Now Offering Flights Out of Maine

Travelers can now finally fly out of Maine using Southwest Airlines.

The airline recently began offering regular flights out of Portland to Baltimore-Washington, with three nonstop flights scheduled Sunday through Friday, and two flights on Saturdays.

Southwest has been expected to begin offering flights ever since it purchased AirTran Airways in 2011. The airline is currently in a transitioning phase by doing away with AirTran service in locations where flights are offered by both carriers.

Saturday was the final AirTran flight out of Portland.
