What is a birthday party without presents and a few surprises? To celebrate Southwest Airlines’ 50th Anniversary, Southwest surprised and delighted Customers at our home airport, Dallas Love Field, with a celebration that embodied the true Southwest fun-LUVing spirit and gratitude for our Customers on this momentous occasion.

From June 1 through June 18, Customers had the chance to engage with Southwest online to win prizes through a baggage claim-themed sweepstakes. This past Friday, Southwest brought that online experience to life at Dallas Love Field on Southwest’s newly-themed holiday Wanna Get Away Day on June 18 (Southwest’s Anniversary).

As Southwest Customers approached the baggage claim area, they were surprised and delighted with a baggage carousel full of 50th-themed gift boxes. While waiting for their luggage, Customers had the opportunity to select a package and walk away with great prizes ranging from Southwest swag, to 5,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points, to vacation packages from Southwest Vacations.

Thank you to all of our Employees and Customers for all that you have done for #Southwest50. Here is to 50 more!
