We have recently started using flight service out of Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa this summer while working in Petaluma. The airport is one of the easiest to navigate in the country with friendly staff and service. We are so excited to hear that there will be more direct flight options from this regional spot in California’s wine country.
Southwest Airlines has announced service to Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa beginning on April 7, 2026. From the airport featuring the beloved Charlie Brown characters, travelers can take nonstop flights to San Diego, Las Vega, Denver and Burbank. The routes to San Diego and Las Vegas are scheduled to operate daily, while Burbank will be available five days per week and Denver only offer service on Saturdays.
