Favorite Southwest Moment

OMG! It's like you understand my mind! You seem to know so much about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, besides that, this is great blog. A outstanding read. I'l

CONTEST ALERT: High Five Your City!

By: Lindsey Prowse lprowse

Apr 08 2013
Everyone has a special affinity for the city they call home.  As a Dallasite, I’ve spent years uncovering hidden hot spots that make my city a true Texas gem! If you can’t find me running (er, glamorous speed-walking) on the Katy Trail, browsing the outdoor library at Klyde Warren Park, or jamming to some jazz at a late night in the Dallas Museum of Art, you’ll find me wherever there is... read more

The Proof is in the Folding

By: Brooks Thomas bthomas

Aug 02 2012
I am not a folder. Can't fold clothes. I very frequently miss the mark on a half or tri-fold; rarely even use folders, and those fold for you.  In each month's Spirit Magazine, there is an origami design.  If you're like me, you scoff at the instructions (which scoff right back, by the way).  The instructions' step-by-step process seems so easy, which makes failure that much... read more

Flashback Fridays: Generations

By: Sandy Nelson snelson

Mar 29 2013
I think that this “Best of” Flashback Fridays, which originally ran on July 13, 2012, is the perfect pick for this week, but that doesn’t mean it was an easy choice to make.  I must admit that it was always one of my favorites, since Brian shared not only his ever-present knowledge of airports and airplanes, but also, in this one, his personal memories of his Dad.  It’s clear... read more

Soar to the Magic - Disney

By: Michelle Miller mmiller

Apr 27 2012
I’m going to Disney World!  Or shall I say, I’m going BACK to Disney World!  I can’t express how excited I am to head back to Disney this year to The Art of Animation resort.  Last year, our Disney friends shared their newest Star Tours adventure with us – it’s an intergalactic 3D adventure inspired by 'Star Wars' at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park - it was a... read more

Land of the Lost Just Got Easier to Find!

By: Robert Lehr rlehr

Mar 05 2012
The Christmas holiday had recently passed, and one of our Customers couldn’t wait to use his brand-new Kindle on his flight. While in the air, he placed the device in the seat back pocket—and forgot about it. It wasn’t until after he arrived at his final destination that he realized it was gone. Luckily, the Customer called Southwest to file a lost and found report, and the Kindle was quickly... read more

Flashback Fridays: More Weird Promotions

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Mar 02 2012
This week, we take a break from our series on the history of the Boeing 737 because I recently found more (and somewhat bizarre) photos of early Southwest promotions.  Don’t worry; we will resume the 737 series next Friday with a look at the 737-300, -400, and -500. Ask most people what first comes to their mind about Southwest’s early days, and they will probably mention Flight... read more

We all have to get to work, but how we get to work can determine whether or not we are “going Green.”  Below are some tips to help you be at your fuel-efficient best, because when you use less fuel, you reduce emissions and save money. Environmental decisions make good business sense! The Need for Speed:  One of the best ways to improve fuel economy is to change the way you drive.... read more

While much remains the same, there are some new and exciting components this year. The more Members who register for the promotion, the bigger... read more

Flashback Fridays: California Girls Meet "Airplane" at Los Angeles International

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Feb 10 2012
The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone. Airline employees and avgeeks immediately recognize that line from the 1980 movie Airplane.  The airport scenes were shot at TWA’s Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International (LAX), and the sign above is familiar to anyone who has seen the movie.  A little known fact is that when... read more
