It's never too early to start planning for spring break.
At least, that seems to be the case for Southwest Airlines.
The airline on Thursday announced it is adding nonstop service from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to Orlando beginning in March.
The flights will operate on Saturdays, with departures from CVG scheduled for 10:25 a.m., according to the airport.
If you're looking to head, well, southwest, the airport also announced the airline is bringing back seasonal nonstop service to Phoenix, Arizona, beginning in March.
Those flights, which will also operate on Saturdays, will depart CVG at 3:50 p.m.
"We are pleased Southwest continues to expand its number of nonstop destinations from CVG," said airport CEO Candace McGraw. "Both Orlando and Phoenix are popular destinations for spring break travel, and, of course, Reds spring training in Goodyear."
The two destinations will complement the airline's existing year-round daily nonstop service to Baltimore, Chicago, Denver and Washington, D.C., the airport said.
