[DALLAS] Southwest Airlines said on Monday that it would start flights to Aruba, the Bahamas and Jamaica in July, its first flights outside the continental United States under the Southwest brand.

The US carrier offers flights to Mexico and the Caribbean through AirTran, which it acquired in 2011. Southwest said that a new reservations system that can handle international bookings was up and running.

From July 1, Southwest will have non-stop flights between Atlanta, Aruba and Montego Bay, Jamaica; Baltimore/Washington and Aruba, Nassau and Montego Bay; and between Orlando and Aruba and Montego Bay.
