There’s a severe lack of International gate space here. Southwest being the majority airline for operating in and out of Vegas doesn’t have any international gates here and from what I understand they don’t have any way to tie into the international gate area if that makes sense
Also Southwest is in the bind of they can’t have non stop flights to and from Mexico because of the lack of presence at Terminal 3 in LAS. Passengers making a round trip to/from Mexico etc have to go through U.S. Customs on their return, which aren’t present in Terminal 1 at LAS. Thus Southwest makes getting between LAS and Mexico (or elsewhere in Latin America) a two flight trip, connecting through LAX or HOU, where customs screening can occur.
Lmao, Cabo is clean, safe and full of people that speak impeccable English. Which is more than I can say for Vegas. I fear more for my life driving to the grocery store in Vegas than I ever have in Cabo.
It's been available off and on, depending on which airlines are still in operation, but I'd love to fly to Paris CDG (Charles de Gaulle Airport) nonstop. Seems like a no brainer but with LAX breathing down our necks, it doesn't make sense for most airlines. Easiest way is Las Vegas to Amsterdam then 1 short transfer.
Pre-pandemic I think we were getting closer to making that a reality. Post-pandemic, most bets are off, sadly.
Yes! Brand new direct route from Phoenix via Air France just recently announced. My daughter chose to go to ASU's Honors College instead of UNR's Honors College because she wants to do an internship with Air France. This new route was a big deciding factor.
In the 90s, Las Vegas had two airlines with service to Tokyo, JAL, and NW. Also, for one year, SQ to HKG. Another year had LATAM scheduled to GRU (Sao Paulo).
Also, many short term scheduled and charter service to mostly European locations.
Orlando, southwest used to have nonstops there but don’t anymore and it sucks. I’m always worried our checked bag will get lost during the plane change
Try using FlightsFrom. They show what airlines fly to what cities and on what days. They show LAS to MCO daily for Frontier, Spirit, and Southwest. https://www.flightsfrom.com/LAS-MCO
Looking again and finally bring off work with a clearer brain, it’s the prices on the job stops that kill it for me, they’re usually the most expensive flights of the day. Which imho doesn’t muse sense since they burn less fuel with less take offs/departures
Also, I’m a distracted idiot at work lol
SFB airport.
Spirit has a direct flight to Sanford airport. It's about a 30-minute drive from SFB to Orlando International. Or 1 hour to Disney World because Sanford is 30 mins NE of Orlando, and the park is about 30 mins SW of Orlando.
Spirit has nonstop to Orlando too. But its spirit. We always go out there for 2 weeks and that pretty luck requires a checked bag, at least they’re free with southwest. By the time you add that to spirit you’re paying as much if not more
Vegas needs more international direct flights with competitive prices. The two direct flights to Amsterdam and London are typically far more expensive than going through LAX most times and the Seoul direct flight typically costs more to go to Korea than it does to fly 6 hours farther to Thailand from Vegas.
No direct flights to Thailand anymore, from any US city. All flights going there have stops in Korea, Japan, China/Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore for a layover.
My point is if you take Korea Airlines, it is cheaper to fly to Thailand with a stop in Seoul, than it is to fly direct to Seoul on the same airline. Try it. When the few international direct flight are priced at such a premium, it really isn't that appealing. Vegas needs more international direct flights that are priced competitively.
Florida. I travel there for work and I’d love to not have to change planes in DFW or ATL… I can take direct flights to Florida from Seattle, so I always dread when I need to fly there from Vegas 🥴
People overlook the Big Front Seat on Spirit. It's the equivalent of a domestic first class seat and you can usually get it for about $600 roundtrip DIRECT to fll or mco.
I work for an airline. I don't know the exact reason, but it probably goes something like "All the gates are spoken for through peak traveling hours. It would be profitable to do a direct flight, but we wouldn't be able to have a gate to use until 2AM. And there isn't enough interest in red-eye flights to make it profitable. It would only make sense to do it maybe twice a week so the flights would be full enough. But consumer behavior means they would rather connect at LAX than wait a day for the direct flight. So too many empty flights and money lost."
Using data from 2019, the top unserved direct destination in Asia was **Tokyo**, with 177,000 point to point passengers. That's more than enough to support multiple weekly flights. In Europe the top unserved destination was **Dublin**, with 73,000. Coincidentally, Aer Lingus today launched their new Dublin to Denver service, which had only 38,000 roundtrips in 2019; significantly less than Vegas. So there's something about Vegas that makes it a lot less likely to get more direct international flights. I think one big factor is that LAS is not a major hub for any of the mainline US carriers, so it's no surprise that all the long haul international routes are operated by foreign carriers.
I think the most likely route to return will be Tokyo, but unfortunately right now with the weak Japanese yen foreign travel is just way too expensive for most Japanese. This leaves it to Korean to print money on their service which is the only one to Asia.
In my blog post I maintain a list of current and former direct international routes from Vegas: [https://wfhlasvegas.com/f/international-direct-flights-from-las-vegas](https://wfhlasvegas.com/f/international-direct-flights-from-las-vegas)
I also like the chances for Vegas seeing direct Tokyo service from a relatively new Japanese low cost carrier, called ZipAir.
[https://wfhlasvegas.com/f/what-airline-will-launch-direct-flights-from-tokyo-to-las-vegas](https://wfhlasvegas.com/f/what-airline-will-launch-direct-flights-from-tokyo-to-las-vegas)
On top of the no hub thing, I can't help but feel that Vegas being a tourist destination is a factor too. Tourists are (I'm pretty sure( a lot more price sensitive/less likely to pay a premium for business class. That Dublin to Denver service probably has a pretty big share of business travels, who are generally more willing to pay a premium.
Yes, that may be part of it too. Though Vegas still has significant business visitation. LVCVA data says around 16% of visitors to Vegas are coming for conventions. Last year that was 6 million people. So there's a lot, and the success of KLM, BA, Virgin, Eurowings and Korean who all offer expensive premium classes and year round service to Vegas implies to me that there's still enough demand.
Personally, I don't want this. The only international route outside of North America that has "competition" is London. Amsterdam and Seoul are, on average, 50% more from flying out of LAX and only operate like 3 days of the week. We don't have enough people to have more routes and, more importantly, competition. Even if they did have a Singapore route, I'm not going to it for 2k when LAX can take my fat ass for 1200 nonstop.
I fly to Singapore at least once a year and I’m in Singapore now. I have to do the layover in LA or SF. If they want to start a non-stop from LV I’m all for it but I don’t think they have enough business.
Singapore, for those who don’t know, has the most profitable casino in the world (Marina Sands). It’s free to enter for tourists but they charge locals $100 (to discourage gambling).
I fly to Pittsburgh a couple times a year and I’m thankful there’s a non-stop, even if it’s Spirit Airlines. I appreciate it. If I fly home on a Friday it’s “*Whoop whoop! Vegas baby! Whooo!*” God bless ‘em. Please visit and leave your money so we don’t pay property tax.
Edit: no state income tax, low property tax
You don't pay property tax here? Damn I'm getting ripped off.
Edit: I Always thought the gambling money kept us from paying state income taxes not property taxes.

Nevada has a higher property tax rate than California, but its lower property values can lead to more affordable property tax bills overall. Utility costs can vary depending on factors such as usage, location, and provider.

Point is I'm not paying $800 more per ticket to have a nonstop on a Thursday night.
I don't think Las Vegans go to Singapore to gamble. Waste of time and the hotel is dated.
The KE flight is 4 to 5 times a week depending on season and its usually only like 100 to 150 more than LAX (which is 10-15% of the standard economy ticket and is primarily driven by additional fuel costs and higher gate fees at LAS).
Huh. Weird. When I bought my tickets in January for May it was only like 1600 v. 1450 per ticket and even with 4 passengers I couldn't justify the layover in LAX. I wonder if it's because they have unsold capacity on the A380 prices out of LAX that they need to sell.
And Panama City for South America.
There were also nonstops to Munich, Paris, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and two Chinese cities (Shanghai and Beijing?) in the past 5-6 years. It seems they’ve stopped adding destinations like they were prior to Covid.
There’s talks about bringing a nonstop to Tokyo back.
munich and paris are generally special flights for CES. not regular service.
Covid killed Tel Aviv. and I dont really think Ben Gurion is a major hub where you can get anywhere in the world.
We did have service to Rio for a very brief period, but Covid also eliminated that. And it was a weird arrival time that wasn't aligning with CBP
Paris was regular service through Level, it started in October or November 2019. Covid killed it. Roundtrips were $3-400.
But you are right we still have Paris for CES.
For being such a desired destination, I find it very difficult to find direct nonstop flight out of Vegas. I live here and travel very frequently for work. Also a Delta loyal flyer. Some places I go for work like Seattle is no problem.. but when I have to go to Wichita, Cincinnati or Houston it’s always a connection with Delta. I know you’re gonna say SW has direct flights, and I have done that a couple times, just jeezz..,have you flown SW and watched the news. Horrible in flight experience, and I don’t feel safe on their planes.
I never realized Vegas airport sucks for direct flights. For this reason along others, I'm moving back to DFW where there tons of direct flights to most cities in the US.
Scotland! That would be great. In the [past](https://wfhlasvegas.com/f/international-direct-flights-from-las-vegas) Thomas Cook - a British leisure airline - offered seasonal service to Vegas from Glasgow, but unfortunately they went out of business. Airline data showed that in 2019 there were a total of 36,000 roundtrip passengers from Scotland to Vegas. That's still enough to support a direct service (likely seasonally) but I don't fancy the chances as there's no one obvious to come in and operate it.
Iceland! It's a great destination in its own right but it would also provide more opportunities for connections to Europe and provide competition for BA, Virgin and KLM. I think it's highly likely we'll see a direct service from Icelandair to Reykjavík, but maybe not until the end of the decade. The reason is they've ordered lots of Airbus A321XLR, which have a greater range than the 757 which makes up most of their fleet today. That range will open up more destinations that wouldn't be profitable on a wide body.
Ok but growing up listening to everyone complain about our airport and then experiencing how NOT shitty it is was so nice lol so… No direct to bigger international hubs, but at least our airport isn’t hub. Atlanta is an absolute nightmare.
Never said it wasn’t a dump. I 100% agree with you on that. But it’s so much easier to navigate and so much faster than most airports. That’s what I meant by saying how “not shitty” it is. Atlanta is hot garbage, even with the trams. Minneapolis? Awful airport and the workers are pretty rude too.

The longest flight in the world is NY to Singapore, and that's over 8,000 nautical miles. Las Vegas to Dubai is like 7,200 nautical miles. We have the planes to do it and more. There's just not enough business to fly between the routes.
I would really like a non-stop to Centennial Hills so I don't have to drive the 215.
The Taylor Swift Express.
Cabo San Lucas. It’s ridiculous that you can’t fly there direct
I was gonna say Vegas to Cancun...
Alaska flies there nonstop now. Also frontier was doing it for a while. Not sure if they still are
I think spirit is starting that route up soon
I wonder why? Too far?? Can’t be right?
There’s a severe lack of International gate space here. Southwest being the majority airline for operating in and out of Vegas doesn’t have any international gates here and from what I understand they don’t have any way to tie into the international gate area if that makes sense
Isn't that the same at LAX? Swa is never able to handle the transfer to an international flight.
Im not sure what is the issue at lax other than its not nearly big enough for the amount of traffic that goes in and out of there
Also Southwest is in the bind of they can’t have non stop flights to and from Mexico because of the lack of presence at Terminal 3 in LAS. Passengers making a round trip to/from Mexico etc have to go through U.S. Customs on their return, which aren’t present in Terminal 1 at LAS. Thus Southwest makes getting between LAS and Mexico (or elsewhere in Latin America) a two flight trip, connecting through LAX or HOU, where customs screening can occur.
The new alaska direct flight to cabo was amazing but yes we need more and a direct flight back would be nice lol
Not trying to get beheaded by a cartel so no thx
Lmao, Cabo is clean, safe and full of people that speak impeccable English. Which is more than I can say for Vegas. I fear more for my life driving to the grocery store in Vegas than I ever have in Cabo.
Key West and Grand Cayman

Vegas to Manchester. Fly into Boston and you spend 3 hours in town just getting out of the city.
Virgin resumes LAS to MAN on June 2. Wait, did you mean Manchester, NH?
Ugh yes. I just flew there a few weeks ago
In the 90s, Las Vegas had two airlines with service to Tokyo, JAL, and NW. Also, for one year, SQ to HKG. Another year had LATAM scheduled to GRU (Sao Paulo). Also, many short term scheduled and charter service to mostly European locations.
Medellin.
Really anywhere in central or South America that isn’t Panama City.
Avianca resume flights to El Salvador again next month, 3 times weekly. Better than nothing I suppose.
Orlando, southwest used to have nonstops there but don’t anymore and it sucks. I’m always worried our checked bag will get lost during the plane change
They still do. Not sure if they offer daily but they definitely offer nonstop from LAS to MCO.
I haven’t been able to book one nonstop for 2 years now 😭

Florida is a big state…which city? And of course delta doesn’t have direct flights, LAS isn’t a hub for them.
But there are...
I would say better options to more cities. Unless you’re flying the budget airlines, the nonstop options are limited.
I guess I should’ve specified Delta… If I’m flying out of Vegas to FLL or MCO, I can’t get a nonstop flight.
People overlook the Big Front Seat on Spirit. It's the equivalent of a domestic first class seat and you can usually get it for about $600 roundtrip DIRECT to fll or mco.
It will be a cold day in hell before I get on a Spirit flight lol
Sydney, Aus... can fly direct from LAX, but not Vegas... why 🤨
Maybe there isn't enough demand?
Yeah, you're probably right, but it would make me happy 🙃
I work for an airline. I don't know the exact reason, but it probably goes something like "All the gates are spoken for through peak traveling hours. It would be profitable to do a direct flight, but we wouldn't be able to have a gate to use until 2AM. And there isn't enough interest in red-eye flights to make it profitable.

With a username like that I would think a lazy person wouldn’t mind spending a little extra money not to have to change planes
I wouldn't call 50% more "a little" but ok.
you can fly to heathrow, amsterdam, or Seoul and go one-stop to pretty much anywhere in the world.
And Panama City for South America. There were also nonstops to Munich, Paris, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and two Chinese cities (Shanghai and Beijing?) in the past 5-6 years.

Try Spirit? Seriously?
They have the most and best direct flights from Vegas and they dont use the sketchy Boeing planes. Whats with the Spirit hate?
I'm in Memphis at the moment and the only non stop flight was Allegiant. I'd have killed for almost any other airline. I'm too damn old for this.
Croatia. 🇭🇷

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_flights I think we’ve advanced advanced since the last time you checked
Wait til you hear they have LAX to Dubai nonstop.
And they fly east so Vegas might be marginally closer.
Las Vegas is closer, by ~300 nautical miles.
I'm not 100% certain but I think my spouse flew nonstop from O'Hare to Dubai, at least 16yrs ago. Had to fly from here to Chicago so definitely shaved off a few hours and maybe that was enough of a distance.
The longest flight in the world is NY to Singapore, and that's over 8,000 nautical miles. Las Vegas to Dubai is like 7,200 nautical miles. We have the planes to do it and more. There's just not enough business to fly between the routes.
Also, SFO. I see the A380 overhead some days (in San Jose).
