Yes, they do. As long as the passenger brings the proper paperwork and it isn't expired, an ESA is free just as a Service Animal. Only pets (non-ESA's & non-SA's) are charged.

@k10978,  thank you for differentiating that  the cost of traveling with an animal for a disability versus a pet.   Southwest has FAQs on the website.  I put in a link below.

 

SWA FAQs - ESAs and other

 

Fortunately I have not had to travel with any animals yet but I have empathy for those that must because there is a lot of disinformation out in the internet. 

 

Thank you for helping a fellow traveler.
