Nonstop Portland-Orlando flights to begin early

Southwest Airlines will begin its nonstop flights from Portland to Orlando, Fla. on Feb. 21, two weeks earlier than anticipated.

The Portland International Jetport announced on Monday the early arrival of Southwest’s nonstop Portland-Orlando flights, which was originally announced last year.

Southwest took over flights for AirTran at the jetport beginning in early 2013, about two years before the airline acquired AirTran in 2011.
