BWI to SJC nonstop cancelled??

[sjw1968]

What happened to the non stop (even just 1 a day) from BWI to SJC and back? I fly southwest exclusively mainly for this route, have been a companion pass member for years. This flight was always booked full. When is this route retruning or is it? I'm about ready to switch airlines.

Due to the MAX grounding, the return of leased planes, and the retirement of old ones, Southwest is short of planes. I'm guessing it could be as much as 8% to 10% of the fleet right now. That could explain the cancellation.

I'm afraid that no one here will be able to tell you the future plans for the route. The only advice I can give you is to keep watching. 

Hopefully the situation will improve when the MAXs start flying again.

There's a non-stop BWI-SJC and SJC-BWI Sunday through Friday starting Sunday, March 8.

Take a look at the Southwest route map, if it shows a non-stop is available there's one somewhere in the scheduled flights.

I suggest using the List View option.
