A Pair of SWA-Themed Chuck T's as Charleston Turns One!

By: Mallory O'Teter moteter

Mar 15 2012
What a FUN, eventful week it has been for Southwest Airlines!  Monday was our first Deck Party of 2012 (and the first ever Monday night Deck Party, might I add); we celebrated the birthdays of our beloved Herb Kelleher and Gary Kelly that same day; and on Tuesday, March 13, we marked SWA's One-Year Anniversary of serving our great friends in South Carolina at Greenville-Spartanburg and... read more

Flash Forward: Encore—Our First 737-800 Takes to the Air

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Feb 29 2012
We had originally planned to end this series with the post about the Boeing celebration party, but I just had to share these photos from Boeing of the first flight of our new 737-800.  An airplane’s first flight is one of the most significant events in its history, much more than its completion date.  In the case of N8301J, it came alive with its first flight (a Boeing test flight) on... read more

Southwest's New Crew Base to Land in the Mile High City

By: Mike Van de Ven mvandeven

Feb 24 2012
Southwest re-entered the Denver market in January 2006, and since that time, the Mile High City has become our fastest growing city in our history.  Our presence in Denver has grown from 13 daily flights to 159, and our commitment to the city of Denver has reached far beyond our presence at Denver International Airport (DIA).  Denver was a natural fit to support our growing operation... read more

Culture Ambassadors Sharing the Warmth!

By: Mallory O'Teter moteter

Feb 15 2012
Yesterday was my favorite day of the year: Valentine's Day.  LUV was in the air...literally!  This Valentine's week (and yes, as a girl, I like to give it a whole week) has been full of LUV as we kicked off service in Atlanta and had the opportunity to get to know and LUV our AirTran family.  I'm not sure the weekend could have gone any better. There was one event after another,... read more

Flash Forward—Part Three: The Continued Progress of our First 737-800

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Feb 10 2012
If you have ever made a model airplane, you know the process involves making various subassemblies, then gluing them together to make an airplane.  As these photos show, the process of making a real airplane is very similar. In our last batch of photos, the fuselage had moved inside the assembly building to the fuselage make-ready station.  With this group of photos, the fuselage has... read more

Jan 26 2012
WE HEARD YOU, NEW ENGLAND FANS!  SUPER EXTRA SECTIONS BETWEEN PROVIDENCE AND INDIANAPOLIS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SUPER GAME WEEKEND! After I blogged yesterday about our Super Extra Sections to/from Indianapolis, lots of you very rightly corrected our shocking lack of knowledge about the New England Patriots and which airport is closer to them.  And here’s our response!  Now... read more

Jan 19 2012
As you may have heard, the Southwest Airlines WiFi Hotspot continues to pick up speed with more and more WiFi-equipped aircraft ready for take-off! We have over 150 WiFi-enabled planes within the Southwest 737-700 fleet. What you might not have heard is that over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work evolving the product to deliver a highly impactful Inflight Experience for you, our... read more

What Causes Turbulence?

By: Kari Kennedy kkennedy

Jan 16 2012
If you’ve read a couple of my posts over time, you know that I have a geek-like interest in weather.   In fact, as I write this blog post, we’re in the middle of strong enough bumps that the water in my bottle is sloshing around considerably.  Our Pilot is doing a great job of doing what he can to minimize the impact while our Flight Attendants and Customers are safely strapped in... read more

Kid Rock Goes to Graceland, TN

By: Katie McDonald kmcdonald

Dec 15 2011
We’ve written before about Southwest’s great partnership with the Artists Den which has allowed us to send some of our Customers, Rapid Rewards Members, Corporate Clients, and Employees to exclusive and private concerts around the country where they were able to hear from Adele, Death Cab, and The Fray just to name a few.  As our partnership continued this year, we were able to treat some... read more

Celebrating 30 Years of Successful Kids

By: Ana Schwager aschwager

Aug 24 2011
“Always give back—find a way to help others” are the simple yet powerful words that Denver Nuggets Coach George Karl has always remembered since first hearing them from his former University of North Carolina Basketball Coach Dean Smith in the early ‘70s.  Yes, Coach Karl has 1,036 wins and 75 career playoff series under his belt, but just as important as these wins are the “give back”... read more
