Southwest Airlines is a major American airline that provides low-cost air travel services primarily across the United States and to select international destinations
Known for its no-frills approach, the airline emphasizes customer service, on-time performance, and a unique boarding process that allows passengers to choose their seats. Southwest operates a point-to-point transit model rather than a traditional hub-and-spoke system, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in its flight operations. The company has established a loyal customer base by offering competitive fares, no charge for checked baggage, and a straightforward pricing structure, making air travel more accessible to a broad range of travelers.
