Southwest Airlines can confirm that passengers are NOT avoiding travel today, Friday the 13th.  Traditional superstitions appear to have been cast aside by many travelers still looking for a low fare and great Customer Service.

Gary Kelly, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer and Laura Wright, Senior Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer will discuss our third quarter 2009 results via live webcast at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time today (Thursday).

If you would like to listen in, the live broadcast will be available at http://www.videonewswire.com/event.asp?id=62631.

Beginning today, Southwest is offering fares starting as low as $59 one-way to select destinations nationwide. Fares must be purchased by Oct. 15, 2009, and are available for travel everyday except Fridays and Sundays from Oct. 13, 2009, through Feb. 11, 2010.

Who remembers when we served margaritas onboard? Sounds good, but few people ordered them at the time, so we removed from the menu and have since added products like Monster Energy Drink and Coke Zero.
