In the news release, Southwest Airlines Brings New Flights Across The Map For Warm Breaks In The Winter And Spring Season As Low As $49 One-Way, issued 19-Nov-2020 by Southwest Airlines Co. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the one-way fare cost for Hawaiian flights in the paragraph headed "LONG BEACH TO BECOME SOUTHWEST AIRLINES GATEWAY TO HAWAII" should read "Once daily service between Long Beach and Honolulu begins March 11, 2021, with one-way fares as low as $99." rather than "Once daily service between Long Beach and Honolulu begins March 11, 2021, with one-way fares as low as $69." as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:
