Layovers are not what vacation is about, which is why Southwest Airline’s recent announcement is such exciting news. Southwest’s brand new $146 million international terminal at Houston Hobby is ready to fly passengers nonstop to multiple cities down south. Among the cities are Los Cabos, San Jose, Cancun, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta and Belize City. The airlines also has plans to add Costa Rica, Liberia and Montego Bay by November 1. “If we fill up the five-gate terminal there is absolutely interest with the current Houston leadership that we could expand this terminal further,” Kelly said. “It could at least double, maybe more.” Sounds like even more opportunities to escape to Mexico might be coming to Houston soon.
