Southwest, Delta Add Caribbean Services

Southwest Air has officially launched international service to the Caribbean.

In August, the airline — which is the nation’s largest domestic carrier — will begin flights to Cancun and Los Cabos; in August, it will fly to Mexico City and Punta Cana.

Delta, which already offers flights to the Caribbean, has announced three new, non-stop services: John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York) to Barbados, John F. Kennedy International Airport to St. Lucia, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (Atlanta) to Barbados.

Both Southwest Air and Delta Airlines cater to families with in-flight Wi-Fi, changing facilities, and more.
