Southwest Airlines was created with the intention of not only offering passengers an affordable and safe option for air travel but also to show them a good time in the process. Founded in Texas in 1971, Southwest Airlines is known for living up to their commitment to provide low cost airfare as well as a casual and fun atmosphere onboard all of their flights.
The Southwest fleet of over 500 aircraft offer flights to 66 destinations across the US and over 3,000 flights daily. Their flight attendants are known for their antics and outstanding customer care. Passengers traveling on Southwest Airlines often get to enjoy jokes, songs and games—usually via the PA system. The airline has been ranked as being among the best in terms of passenger satisfaction.
“Southwest cares” is not only the company slogan but also a commitment to helping the communities that they service. The company takes pride in giving back and helping in various aspects which include doing their part to save the environment, volunteering their time and donating money to various causes.
Southwest Airlines was featured in their own reality TV show AIRLINE, which followed some of the staff during their day-to-day operations. This gave the world an opportunity to see the airline industry from the other side of the check in counter which not only provided the public with some great entertainment but also a better understanding of the way airlines operate as well.
