Charters
Charter Service
Thank you for your interest in Southwest Airlines’ and AirTran Airways’ charter service. Our award-winning Customer Service is also available on our charter flights. A charter may solve logistical problems for larger groups, particularly to cities where scheduled service flights do not offer direct or non-stop service and timing maybe important.
Please note that Southwest Airlines is not currently operating charters to international destinations.

Charter Groups
It is important to know the kind of charter group that will be traveling. The US Department of Transportation has strict consumer protection regulations, and by providing us with a description of the group we can more accurately respond to your request.
Pricing
Charter pricing is based on scheduling, the amount of flying required including empty positioning and repositioning flights, aircraft availability, and is for the entire aircraft. If you compare individual per seat prices charters are normally more expensive than our published air fares on a regularly scheduled flight.
Example for one way charter prices, including all current taxes and fees:
- Coast to Coast, one-way: $70,000 to $80,000
- Northeast or Midwest city to Central or South Florida, one-way: $40,000 to $50,000
Aircraft Size
Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 aircraft accommodates 137 passengers.
In-Flight Service & Catering
All charter flights offer our standard in-flight complementary beverage service. Cold snacks and meals can be arranged for an additional cost.
