Hello, extra roomy seat

Our Airplanes

Southwest Airlines is the world’s largest operator of Boeing 737s. It is the only type of airplane we fly! This means that all of our Pilots, Flight Attendants, and Mechanics are trained and familiar with every airplane in our fleet. We believe our skilled professionals and our consistent, state-of-the-art fleet are two primary reasons that Southwest Airlines has one of the best operational safety records in the worldwide airline industry.

Your comfort is important to us. That is why, when we designed our aircraft interiors, we worked hard to provide a comfortable distance or pitch* between your seat and the seat in front of you. The chart below shows the number of seats in each Boeing 737 model we could fly if we provided less space for our Customers compared to the actual number of seats in the cabin.  It will also give you an idea of what you can expect in terms of legroom.

Our aircraft have one aisle and one single cabin with three seats on each side of the aircraft.  The first row of seats on each side is bulkhead seating.

*As defined by our aircraft manufacturer, seat pitch is determined by measuring the distance from any point on a seat to the same point on the seat directly in front of it.
