Southwest Airlines New Routes Include Nonstop Flights to a Fictional 'Bikini Atoll' in Viral Hoax Map
A fake route map circulating online claims Southwest Airlines new routes will now include nonstop service to Bikini Atoll, Hawaii, but the airline confirms the destination does not exist for commercial travel. The viral graphic, which appears as a screenshot from a booking site, shows a fictional 'Southwest Airlines new routes' announcement for the remote Pacific atoll, but fact-checkers have debunked it as a satirical parody. Southwest has not added any service to Bikini Atoll, and real new routes expansion continues as previously announced.
