Search. Compare. Choose the Right Fare for Your Journey.

Planning to travel with Southwest Airlines? Right Fare Match provides an independent online travel platform where travelers can search available Southwest Airlines flight options, compare itineraries and fares, review applicable booking conditions, and make eligible flight reservations when Southwest inventory is available through our travel distribution sources.

Whether you are planning travel within the United States, flying to Hawaii, visiting Mexico, traveling to the Caribbean or Central America, or arranging an itinerary that includes Southwest together with an eligible airline partner, Right Fare Match helps you explore available options based on your selected route, travel dates, and requirements.

Right Fare Match is an independent Online Travel Agency (OTA) operated by Plane To Paradise LLC. We are not Southwest Airlines and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by Southwest Airlines.

Southwest Airlines Reservations Through an Independent OTA

Southwest Airlines is a major U.S. airline operating an extensive network throughout the United States and selected international leisure markets.

Its network includes more than 100 destinations across:

Continental United States
Hawaii
Mexico
Caribbean
Central America and Other Available Markets

Unlike some international network airlines built around one primary global hub, Southwest operates a broad point-to-point network with substantial operations across multiple U.S. airports.

Right Fare Match provides travelers with an independent channel through which available Southwest itineraries may be searched and booked when applicable inventory is accessible through our travel distribution sources.

Our role is to facilitate travel reservations as an independent travel intermediary.

Right Fare Match does not operate Southwest flights and does not control Southwest schedules, aircraft, airport operations, baggage handling, boarding procedures, seat assignments, flight disruptions, onboard services, loyalty programs, or other airline-operated services.

Find a Southwest Flight That Matches Your Trip

Every traveler has different priorities.

You may be looking for a domestic U.S. flight, travel to Hawaii, a vacation in Mexico or the Caribbean, a nonstop itinerary, a particular seating option, baggage benefits, journey duration, flexibility, or a fare that works for your travel plans.

Right Fare Match allows travelers to review available flight options according to their selected search criteria.

Depending on inventory available through our platform, customers may be able to review:

  • Departure and arrival airports
  • Scheduled departure and arrival times
  • One-way and round-trip itineraries
  • Nonstop and connecting flights
  • Available Southwest fare products
  • Applicable seating information
  • Travel duration
  • Operating carrier
  • Applicable fare conditions
  • Available pricing

Availability varies according to route, travel date, passenger requirements, fare conditions, distribution channel, and inventory available at the time of search.

How Southwest Airlines Fares Appear on Right Fare Match

Right Fare Match may receive underlying flight inventory, availability, and fare information through multiple travel distribution channels.

These may include:

Global Distribution Systems (GDS)
Travel Supplier APIs
Consolidators
Fare Dealers
Wholesalers
Airline Distribution Arrangements
Other Contracted or Authorized Travel Inventory Sources

The availability of Southwest Airlines inventory through Right Fare Match does not mean that Right Fare Match is Southwest Airlines or that Southwest Airlines endorses our platform.

Right Fare Match independently determines the retail prices offered through our platform based on inventory available to us, commercial arrangements, applicable costs, service components, and other relevant pricing factors.

Accordingly, a price offered through Right Fare Match may differ from a price available directly from Southwest Airlines or another travel seller.

We do not represent or guarantee that a fare offered through Right Fare Match will always be the lowest fare available in the marketplace.

Customers should carefully review:

Total Price
Fare Type
Seat Conditions
Baggage Conditions
Change Conditions
Cancellation Conditions
Operating Carrier
Other Material Terms

before authorizing payment.

Certain routes may operate only on selected days or during particular travel seasons.

Availability through Right Fare Match depends on inventory accessible to our platform for the customer's selected route and dates.

Domestic U.S. travel forms the core of Southwest's network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest flights involving major metropolitan and leisure markets such as:

Southwest's network includes both major metropolitan airports and selected secondary airports.

Customers should carefully verify the exact airport displayed in their itinerary.

Southwest Airlines Flights From Dallas

Southwest has extensive operations from Dallas Love Field (DAL).

This distinction is important because Dallas Love Field is different from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest services from Dallas Love Field to destinations throughout the United States and selected international markets through eligible connections.

Customers searching for Dallas travel should always confirm whether their itinerary uses:

Dallas Love Field (DAL)

or

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

Right Fare Match does not represent these airports as interchangeable.

Southwest Airlines Flights From Houston

Southwest maintains significant operations in Houston.

Travelers may encounter flights involving William P. Hobby Airport (HOU).

Houston Hobby is different from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

Customers should verify the exact airport shown in their reservation before completing a booking.

Southwest Airlines Flights From Chicago

Southwest provides extensive service involving the Chicago metropolitan area.

Travelers may find Southwest flights involving Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW).

Midway is different from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD).

Customers should confirm the airport displayed for every segment.

Southwest Airlines Flights From Baltimore/Washington

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is an important airport within Southwest's network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find extensive Southwest connectivity between BWI and destinations throughout the United States and selected international markets.

Travelers visiting the Washington D.C. region should understand that BWI is geographically distinct from:

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

and

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).

Verify the airport before completing the reservation.

Southwest Airlines Flights From Denver

Denver is another major Southwest market.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest services between Denver International Airport (DEN) and numerous destinations throughout the United States.

Eligible connecting itineraries may also provide access to Hawaii and selected international leisure markets.

Southwest Airlines Flights From Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a significant leisure destination within Southwest's network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest services between Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and numerous U.S. destinations.

Las Vegas can also provide eligible connections within Southwest's broader network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest services involving destinations such as:

Orlando
Fort Lauderdale
Miami
Tampa
Fort Myers
Jacksonville
West Palm Beach
Sarasota and Other Available Florida Markets

Not every route operates from every origin.

Some services may vary seasonally.

Southwest Airlines Flights to Orlando

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is an important leisure destination within Southwest's network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest flights to Orlando from numerous U.S. cities.

Orlando can also provide connections to selected Caribbean and international destinations according to the applicable schedule.

Southwest Airlines Flights to California

Southwest operates an extensive California network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find services involving airports such as:

Los Angeles
San Diego
San Francisco Bay Area
Sacramento
San Jose
Oakland
Burbank
Long Beach
Ontario and Other Available California Markets

Customers should pay particular attention to the exact airport because several California metropolitan areas are served by multiple airports.

Southwest Airlines Flights to Hawaii

Southwest operates service between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii as well as interisland service within Hawaii.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find services involving:

Honolulu/Oahu
Kahului/Maui
Kona/Hawaii Island
Hilo/Hawaii Island
Lihue/Kauai

and eligible mainland gateways.

Southwest also operates interisland flights between selected Hawaiian airports.

Schedules, frequencies, and baggage conditions can differ according to the itinerary.

Southwest Interisland Hawaii Flights

Travelers may find Southwest services between selected Hawaiian islands.

Possible itineraries may involve airports such as:

Honolulu (HNL)

Kahului (OGG)

Kona (KOA)

Hilo (ITO)

Lihue (LIH)

The applicable baggage conditions may differ depending on whether the itinerary is an interisland Hawaii journey or another type of Southwest itinerary.

Customers should review the current conditions applicable to their specific ticket.

Southwest Airlines Flights to Mexico

Southwest provides service between the United States and selected destinations in Mexico.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find services involving destinations such as:

Cancún
Los Cabos
Puerto Vallarta and Other Available Mexican Markets

Some services may be seasonal or operate only on selected days.

Customers should search their actual travel dates.

Southwest Airlines Flights to Cancún

Cancún is an important international leisure destination within Southwest's network.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find Southwest services between Cancún International Airport (CUN) and selected U.S. gateways.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find flights involving markets such as:

Aruba
Bahamas
Cayman Islands
Dominican Republic
Jamaica
Puerto Rico
Turks and Caicos
U.S. Virgin Islands and Other Available Destinations

The precise network varies by season and schedule.

Southwest Airlines Flights to Puerto Rico

Southwest provides service involving San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU).

Because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, travel documentation requirements can differ from travel to foreign Caribbean destinations.

However, travelers should still ensure that they carry identification and documentation appropriate to their itinerary and individual circumstances.

Southwest Airlines Flights to Central America

Southwest provides selected services between the United States and Central America.

Depending on current schedules and available inventory, travelers may find flights involving destinations such as:

Belize
Costa Rica and Other Available Markets

Certain routes may operate seasonally or from selected U.S. gateways.

Southwest International Partner Connections

Southwest has expanded its network through international airline partnerships.

Depending on current agreements, schedules, and inventory, eligible itineraries may combine Southwest-operated flights with international partner airlines.

These partnerships can potentially extend connectivity beyond Southwest's own operated network.

Customers should understand that:

A Southwest flight and a partner-airline flight may provide different cabins, baggage policies, seat-selection rules, loyalty benefits, and operating conditions.

The operating carrier should be reviewed for every flight segment.

Southwest and Icelandair Connections

Southwest has established an airline partnership with Icelandair.

Depending on current schedules, applicable agreements, and inventory, eligible itineraries may provide connections between the Southwest network and Icelandair-operated international services.

This can create travel possibilities involving destinations beyond Southwest's own operated network.

For any such itinerary, customers should review:

Operating Carrier
Flight Number
Connection Airport
Baggage Conditions
Seat Conditions
Ticket Structure
Travel Documentation

Right Fare Match remains independent of both airlines.

Southwest and China Airlines Connections

Southwest has announced and developed international connectivity with China Airlines.

Depending on current implementation, schedules, and available inventory, eligible partner itineraries may connect Southwest's U.S. network with China Airlines services through West Coast gateways such as:

Los Angeles
San Francisco
Ontario, California
Seattle

Customers should not interpret a partner itinerary as a Southwest-operated trans-Pacific flight.

The trans-Pacific segment is operated by the applicable partner airline.

Southwest and EVA Air Connections

Southwest has also announced a partnership with EVA Air designed to expand international connectivity.

Applicable connections may involve U.S. gateways such as:

Los Angeles
San Francisco
Seattle
Chicago

depending on current implementation, schedules, and available inventory.

Customers should review the operating carrier for each segment.

Southwest Flights Between India and the United States

Southwest Airlines does not operate its own nonstop passenger flights between India and the United States.

Travelers searching from India may nevertheless find eligible itineraries in which an international airline operates the long-haul portion and Southwest operates a domestic U.S. segment.

An itinerary might therefore involve:

India → International Airline → U.S. Gateway → Southwest → U.S. Destination

or another eligible partner or multi-carrier structure.

Customers should carefully review whether the itinerary is:

Single Ticket
Interline Itinerary
Partner Itinerary
Separate Tickets
Self-Transfer

These structures can have different implications for:

Baggage Transfer
Missed Connections
Check-In
Seat Selection
Changes
Cancellations
Rebooking

Right Fare Match does not represent an international partner-operated segment as a Southwest-operated flight.

Southwest Assigned Seating

Southwest historically operated an open-seating model.

That system has changed.

For Southwest travel beginning January 27, 2026, assigned seating is now part of Southwest's passenger experience.

Customers should therefore not rely on older information stating that Southwest universally uses open seating.

Southwest currently provides different seat categories:

Standard
Preferred
Extra Legroom

Seat-selection eligibility depends on the purchased fare, traveler status, applicable credit-card benefits, seat availability, and other Southwest conditions.

Southwest Standard Seats

Standard seats are available throughout the applicable Standard seating section of the aircraft.

Depending on fare:

  • Basic customers generally receive a Standard seat assignment at check-in unless another applicable benefit allows earlier selection.
  • Choice customers can generally select an available Standard seat when booking.
  • Choice Preferred customers can generally select an available Preferred or Standard seat.
  • Choice Extra customers can generally select from available Extra Legroom, Preferred, or Standard seats.

Seat availability remains subject to applicable airline conditions.

Southwest Preferred Seats

Preferred seats generally provide standard legroom but are positioned in preferred locations, including areas nearer the front of the cabin.

Choice Preferred fares include access to available Preferred or Standard seats according to applicable Southwest conditions.

Other eligible customers may be able to purchase or receive Preferred seating according to fare, status, cardmember benefits, or availability.

Southwest Extra Legroom Seats

Southwest now offers Extra Legroom seating.

These seats are located in designated areas such as the front portion of the cabin and eligible exit-row locations.

Depending on aircraft, Extra Legroom seats can provide additional seat pitch compared with Standard and Preferred seating.

Choice Extra fares include eligible Extra Legroom seat selection according to availability and applicable conditions.

Other customers may have the opportunity to purchase an Extra Legroom seat.

Right Fare Match does not guarantee the availability of any particular seat.

Southwest Boarding Process

Southwest's boarding process changed alongside assigned seating.

The airline now uses boarding groups rather than its former A/B/C boarding-position structure.

Boarding priority can depend on factors including:

Fare
Seat Type
Rapid Rewards Status
Eligible Credit Card Benefits
Purchased Priority Benefits
Other Applicable Conditions

Because seating is assigned, customers should not rely on older Southwest guidance stating that passengers select their seats only after boarding.

Customers should rely on the seat and boarding information associated with their current reservation.

Southwest Fare Options

Southwest currently provides four primary fare bundles:

Basic

Basic is Southwest's most restrictive current fare.

Under Southwest's current structure, Basic generally includes a Standard seat assigned at check-in unless another applicable status or cardmember benefit provides additional seat-selection rights.

Basic is generally nonrefundable and has greater restrictions concerning voluntary changes.

Customers should carefully review the applicable conditions before purchase.

Choice

Choice provides additional flexibility and generally allows customers to select an available Standard seat at booking.

Applicable benefits may include same-day travel flexibility and a Transferable Flight Credit according to Southwest's conditions.

Choice Preferred

Choice Preferred provides additional benefits and generally allows selection of an available:

Preferred Seat

or

Standard Seat

at booking.

It also provides earlier boarding and enhanced flexibility according to applicable fare conditions.

Choice Extra

Choice Extra is Southwest's highest current fare bundle.

Depending on current airline conditions, Choice Extra can include:

Extra Legroom Seat Selection
Preferred or Standard Seat Selection
Group 1 Boarding
Enhanced Flexibility
Two Checked Bags Subject to Applicable Limits
Higher Rapid Rewards Earning and Other Applicable Benefits

Not every ancillary benefit or service available directly from Southwest is necessarily available through every third-party distribution channel.

Customers should review the exact fare benefits presented for their reservation.

Southwest Baggage Information

Southwest's baggage policy has changed substantially from its historical model.

Customers should not rely on older statements that every Southwest passenger automatically receives two free checked bags.

Checked-baggage fees now apply to many Southwest fares.

Applicable baggage conditions depend on factors including:

Fare
Ticketing Date
Travel Type
Rapid Rewards Status
Eligible Credit Card Benefits
Military Eligibility
Operating Carrier
Partner Itinerary
Other Applicable Conditions

Under Southwest's current structure, eligible Choice Extra customers and Rapid Rewards A-List Preferred members can receive two checked bags without the standard checked-bag charge, subject to applicable weight, size, and other conditions.

Other eligible customers may receive one free checked bag according to applicable status or cardmember benefits.

Basic, Choice, and Choice Preferred customers without another qualifying benefit may be subject to checked-bag charges.

Interisland Hawaii travel can have separate baggage conditions.

Partner-airline itineraries may also have different baggage policies.

Because baggage fees and conditions can change, customers should review the exact baggage allowance and applicable charges associated with their itinerary before completing a reservation and again before departure.

Right Fare Match does not establish Southwest's baggage rules or airline-imposed baggage charges.

Southwest Carry-On Baggage

Southwest currently permits eligible ticketed passengers to bring:

One Carry-On Bag

and

One Personal Item

subject to Southwest's applicable size, safety, stowage, and other conditions.

Carry-on policies can change, and certain items are subject to special restrictions.

Travelers should verify current requirements before departure.

Rapid Rewards

Rapid Rewards is Southwest Airlines' loyalty program.

Eligible members can earn Rapid Rewards points and receive qualifying benefits according to applicable program conditions.

Southwest's current elite tiers include:

A-List

and

A-List Preferred

Eligible members may receive benefits involving:

Seat Selection
Boarding
Baggage
Points Earning
Same-Day Travel Benefits
Other Applicable Services

Benefits depend on current program rules and qualifying status.

Right Fare Match does not operate, administer, control, or guarantee Rapid Rewards, points earning, redemption availability, A-List qualification, A-List Preferred qualification, or associated benefits.

Southwest Companion Pass

Southwest also provides Companion Pass as part of its Rapid Rewards program.

Eligible qualifying members can designate a companion according to Southwest's applicable program conditions.

Companion Pass qualification, booking procedures, taxes, seat selection, availability, validity periods, and other requirements are established by Southwest.

Right Fare Match does not determine eligibility for Companion Pass or guarantee that Companion Pass benefits can be applied through every third-party booking channel.

Travelers seeking to use a loyalty or Companion Pass benefit should confirm the applicable procedures before completing a third-party reservation.

Southwest Airline Alliance Information

Southwest is not currently a member of Star Alliance, oneworld, or SkyTeam.

Instead, Southwest has been developing individual international airline partnerships.

Customers should therefore not assume that a Southwest ticket automatically provides alliance-wide benefits comparable with membership in one of the major global airline alliances.

Partner benefits depend on the specific airline agreement and itinerary.

Southwest Partner Flights

Certain itineraries may combine Southwest with another airline.

A partner itinerary can have different conditions from a Southwest-only itinerary.

Customers should review:

Marketing Carrier
Operating Carrier
Ticket Structure
Baggage Policy
Seat Selection
Connection Conditions
Change Rules
Cancellation Rules
Loyalty Benefits

for each applicable flight.

The availability of a partner-operated itinerary through Right Fare Match does not imply that Right Fare Match is affiliated with Southwest or the applicable partner airline.

Southwest Aircraft & Cabin

Southwest operates an all-Boeing 737 passenger fleet.

The airline's current passenger experience remains primarily a single-cabin configuration with multiple seating options rather than separate traditional Economy, Premium Economy, Business Class, and First Class cabins.

Customers may encounter:

Standard Seats
Preferred Seats
Extra Legroom Seats

depending on aircraft, fare, availability, and applicable benefits.

Does Southwest Have Business Class?

Southwest does not generally operate a separate traditional Business Class cabin.

Choice Extra is a fare bundle, not a separate lie-flat or dedicated international Business Class cabin.

A Choice Extra customer may receive enhanced benefits such as Extra Legroom seating and other fare-related privileges, but this should not be represented as a traditional Business Class cabin.

Does Southwest Have First Class?

Southwest does not generally operate a dedicated First Class cabin.

If Business Class, Premium Economy, or First Class appears on a multi-airline itinerary containing a Southwest segment, that cabin may apply to a different operating airline.

Customers should review the cabin and operating carrier for each segment.

Before You Book Your Southwest Flight

Before completing a reservation through Right Fare Match, carefully review your selected itinerary and booking information.

Passenger Names

Enter passenger names accurately according to the identification or passport required for the journey.

Travel Dates

Confirm all departure, connection, and return dates.

Airports

Southwest frequently serves airports that may differ from another major airport in the same metropolitan area.

Examples include:

Dallas Love Field instead of Dallas/Fort Worth

Chicago Midway instead of Chicago O'Hare

Houston Hobby instead of Houston Intercontinental

Always verify the exact airport.

Fare Type

Determine whether the selected fare is:

Basic
Choice
Choice Preferred
Choice Extra
Seat

Review whether the applicable seat is:

Standard
Preferred
Extra Legroom

and whether seat selection is included, assigned later, available for purchase, or provided through another qualifying benefit.

Baggage

Do not assume that two checked bags are automatically free.

Review the baggage allowance and applicable charges associated with your fare and eligibility.

Operating Carrier

If another airline is involved, confirm which carrier operates each segment.

Connection Structure

Determine whether a multi-airline itinerary is a protected connection, partner itinerary, interline arrangement, separate ticket, or self-transfer.

Changes & Cancellations

Review the conditions associated with the selected fare before purchase.

Basic can have materially different restrictions from Choice, Choice Preferred, and Choice Extra.

Travel Documents

For international travel, verify passport, visa, electronic authorization, transit, immigration, health, and other applicable governmental requirements.

Total Price

Review the total price and applicable material conditions before authorizing payment.

Changes, Cancellations & Refunds

Southwest fare products carry different conditions.

Under the current structure:

Basic
Choice
Choice Preferred
Choice Extra

can provide materially different levels of flexibility.

Basic is generally the most restrictive product and is generally nonrefundable.

Choice, Choice Preferred, and Choice Extra provide additional flexibility according to their applicable conditions.

Fare differences and other applicable conditions may still apply.

Where an eligible Southwest reservation was made through Right Fare Match, our team may facilitate qualifying change or cancellation requests subject to applicable airline, supplier, fare, distribution-channel, and Right Fare Match conditions.

Right Fare Match cannot override restrictions imposed by Southwest Airlines, another operating carrier, an inventory supplier, or an applicable fare rule.

Any applicable Right Fare Match service or post-ticketing fees are governed by the terms and disclosures associated with the reservation.

Schedule Changes, Delays & Airline Operations

Airline schedules may change after a reservation has been completed.

Flight delays, cancellations, schedule modifications, aircraft substitutions, airport or gate changes, baggage handling, boarding decisions, seat reassignment, and other operational matters are controlled by Southwest Airlines, the applicable operating carrier, airports, governmental authorities, or other relevant service providers.

If an airline changes an itinerary booked through Right Fare Match, we may assist customers with available options subject to applicable airline and supplier policies.

Right Fare Match does not operate aircraft and cannot guarantee airline schedules, routing, on-time performance, aircraft assignment, seat configuration, seat assignment, or other airline operations.

Travel Requirements for Southwest International Flights

Passengers traveling internationally on Southwest or an eligible partner itinerary may be subject to:

Passport Requirements
Visa Requirements
Electronic Travel Authorization
Immigration Requirements
Customs Requirements
Health Requirements
Transit Requirements
Security Requirements
Other Governmental Documentation

Requirements depend on:

Citizenship
Nationality
Residence
Destination
Transit Point
Purpose of Travel
Duration of Stay
Individual Circumstances

Travelers are responsible for determining and satisfying all requirements applicable to their journey.

Right Fare Match does not determine whether a traveler is eligible to enter, leave, or transit through the United States, Mexico, a Caribbean country, a Central American country, or any other jurisdiction.

Travelers should verify current governmental requirements before departure.
