Big win for Knoxville flyers Southwest Airlines is finally coming to McGhee Tyson Airport! Starting March 5, 2026, they’ll have direct flights to Nashville, plus daily flights to Dallas, Baltimore, and Orlando. That means lower fares, more flexibility, and way more connection options.
As someone who flies out of TYS often, this is a game-changer. It’s also a huge step for McGhee Tyson, which has been growing like crazy the past couple of years.
Curious what destinations would you want to see Southwest add next from Knoxville?
