Southwest Airlines Flight Booking
Hubs: Dallas Love Field (DAL), Chicago Midway (MDW), Baltimore (BWI), Denver (DEN), Las Vegas (LAS), Phoenix (PHX), Houston Hobby (HOU), Orlando (MCO), Nashville (BNA).
Southwest Airlines is the largest domestic carrier in the United States by passengers boarded, with major operations at Dallas Love Field, Chicago Midway, Baltimore, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston Hobby, Orlando, and Nashville. It flies an all-Boeing 737 fleet.
Southwest is known for a point-to-point network rather than a hub system, no change fees on any fare, and a large share of nonstop leisure routes to Florida, Las Vegas, and the Southwest.
Southwest is a different animal from the legacy carriers, with a point-to-point map built around leisure travel rather than a single connecting hub. Because it does not distribute through the same channels as other airlines, it can be easy to overlook in an ordinary search — comparing it by hand against a legacy carrier is exactly where an agent helps most on a domestic trip.
Our partner agency's licensed agents book Southwest Airlines in every cabin and compare it with other carriers on your route. Call (708) 866-8751, 24/7, every day.
