If you fly out of Dayton, here's an important change to have on your radar.

Starting Monday, April 11, Southwest Airlines will shift all of its flights out of Dayton International Airport to Chicago Midway International Airport, the airline’s hub. Flights to three non-stop destinations — Baltimore, Denver and Orlando — will cease by the end of the day.

Southwest said that three new daily flights to Chicago will start on Tuesday. The flights will depart Dayton at 6:30 a.m., 12:15 p.m. and 4:25 p.m. The airline previously had between four and five flights from the airport daily.

From Midway, passengers will be able to connect to 243 daily direct flights to 62 U.S. cities and 11 daily direct flights to eight international destinations.
