Southwest Airlines has announced a new partnership with Expedia Group, allowing Expedia to sell tickets for its flights starting February 27, 2025. This partnership aims to enhance accessibility for travelers, who previously could only purchase tickets on the airline's website. Southwest has expanded its route map, now reaching 117 destinations across eleven countries. The collaboration will also make Expedia's AI-driven travel tools available to Southwest customers, and offers benefits through Expedia's OneKey rewards program, which includes discounts and loyalty points on travel bookings.
"Southwest Airlines is a beloved brand known for its customer-first service and operational excellence," Expedia Group's Chief Commercial Officer Greg Schulze shared in a statement to Travel + Leisure.
This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to offer the most travel options and deliver exceptional value to our customers.
The new partnership with Expedia will expand the ways that travelers can purchase tickets on the flights, where previously they could only book on Southwest.com.
The travel company will officially start selling Southwest tickets by Thursday, February 27, 2025, and both the airline and Expedia described the move as a 'travel industry first.'
