The daily flight leaves at 10:20 a.m. from Kansas City and arrives at 11:35 a.m. in Burbank, California, making it a 3-hour, 15-minute trip with the time zone changes, according to Southwest. The returning flight departs from Burbank at 2:50 p.m. and arrives in Kansas City at 7:55 p.m., which is a 3-hour, 5-minute flight.

Southwest is also adding a Sunday-only nonstop service to the John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio, from KCI starting on June 9.

The airline will restore weekend service to Myrtle Beach International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport and increase service for these daily departures during the summer:

  • Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport
