Travel Tips

We'll treat your bags like our own

You can have one carry-on and one personal item. See if your airport features Express Bag Drop.

Meet your new travel buddy

Manage flights from your phone or tablet with our apps. You can change or cancel reservations, view your flight's status, access your mobile boarding pass, and more.

Check in like
a pro

The sooner you check in, the faster you'll board. You can check in online and print your boarding pass up to 24 hours in advance, or stop by our convenient airport kiosks.

Speed through security

Priority Lanes and Express Lanes, (where available), are designed to speed our Business Select and Anytime Customers, as well as A-List and A-List Preferred Members, through check-in and security lines. Priority Lanes are at Southwest check-in counters, and Express Lanes are at security checkpoints.
