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 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?

To be clear, the AI rabbit hole is where I go sometimes to create beautiful images when I’m excited about something. And right now I’m excited about Marrakech 2025. 🤩 🇲🇦

Am I the only one who sees ads for comfy clothes and automatically thinks about how comfy they would be for travel?

Do you own or carry luggage that doesn’t have wheels?

Have you had a trip experience that was especially transformational? Where did you go? How did it change you?

Have you been to Amsterdam? It was the first city I ever visited in Europe back in the day.

This guy and his wifey make me want to catch that bullet train the next time I’m in Paris. 🆒 Ami g other things, it’s a city’s colorful people that make travel fun.

Have you ever rented a car in a foreign country? How did it go?

“One really eye-opening part of the [1958] letter is the price ... MLK estimated the trip [to the Soviet Union] would cost a whopping $35 per day for his hotels, trains, planes, interpreters, cars and chauffeurs.”

Martin Luther King Jr. was planning a trip to the Soviet Union after surviving an assassination attempt, and his letter explaining his reasons for the visit is up for grabs.

Parking this right here because Group #2 is starting to fill up and I don’t want you to miss out on this Marvelous Marrakech experience in North Africa. Monthly payments as low as $255/month.

We have our own private & exclusive use of a traditional riad turned 4-star boutique hotel. We have long table Moroccan dinner parties with candelabras and dancing. The day-to-night experience at Jnane Tamsna is worth the price of admission alone. I could go on….

Y’all that know me know I’m not playing around. Talk about magical, dreamy and exotic….

Singles and doubles (limited) okay.
