During Your Flight

Welcome Aboard

Our Inflight Crews strive to provide Positively Outrageous Service with a Fun-LUVing attitude on each and every flight. At Southwest we live by The Golden Rule, meaning that we treat one another the way we would want to be treated. This is why doing the right thing by both our Employees and our Customers is the cornerstone of who we are as a Company. It's all part of the Southwest Difference.

Our inflight cabin experience is second to none. Our open seating policy allows you to pick your favorite available seat once aboard our roomy Boeing 737 jets. We only fly big 737 jets so you never have to worry about showing up to the gate and having to board a small plane.  You can then sit back, relax, and enjoy the comforts of our clean, spacious cabin as our friendly Flight Attendants make your experience as enjoyable as possible.

Enjoy The Flight With Our Inflight Amenities

Peanuts and PretzelsYou'll find that we offer a variety of complimentary snacks and beverages to tempt your taste buds. While inflight you can learn more about our offerings by referring to our inflight menu card in the seatback pocket of the seat in front of you.

Peanuts and pretzels are always complimentary as well as an assorted list of non-alcoholic beverages. Complimentary Nabisco® Selections are available on select flights. Cocktails, beer, and wine may also be purchased onboard. All major credit cards are accepted,
though cash is not.

For every cup of LIFT® coffee our Customers drink, Southwest is donating funds to help Green energy projects in villages throughout the coffee-growing regions of Peru.  From sustainable power to training local technicians the skills to maintain the light sources, Southwest believes doing the right thing is bringing light to the world.

Our inflight magazine, Spirit, is also complimentary on every Southwest flight, making it an exceptional read at a great value. The magazine explores a wide array of topics from pop culture to sports, and includes favorites such as crossword puzzle and Sudoku.

If traveling on a shared itinerary, please note that inflight offerings on AirTran-operated flights will differ from those on Southwest-operated flights. View AirTran Inflight Menu
