We’re continually evolving to meet the needs of our Customers. That’s why we’re excited to announce some big changes designed to enhance your Customer Experience—still delivered with our same Southwest Heart:

✅ Assigned seating (expected to become bookable in 2025)
✅ Premium seating options (expected to become bookable in 2025)
✅ Red-eye flights (now available for booking on https://swa.is/4c1dQdk!)

The research is clear and indicates that more than 80% of Southwest Customers prefer an assigned seat. These changes come as a part of our ongoing commitment to enhance the Customer experience, including faster WiFi, new in-seat power, larger overhead bins, and more comfortable seats.

For now, it's business as usual - we're working hard to meet Customer expectations and expect seating changes to become bookable in 2025.

We look forward to welcoming you onboard with the same Southwest Hospitality that you know and love. Learn more about these upcoming changes: https://swa.is/4cVnAY2

Are you someone who likes to plan travel far in advance? If so, what’s your threshold? 6 months? 12 months? 18 months?

Or do you prefer spontaneous travel? Let’s say…within 3 months of departure?

A mix of both?

I’m planning an exclusive meet-up in Paris.

I’m jonesing for a beach. More specifically, a beach on The Big Island of Hawai’i — where the landscape shifts from volcanic rock that looks like the moon to sandy beaches with billowing palms to Hawaiian cowboys (paniolo) on horseback to snowcapped summits to epic thunderous waterfalls in tropical rainforests.

What’s your Hawai’i story?
