Southwest Airlines has announced a new partnership with Priceline, allowing travelers to book Southwest flights directly on Priceline’s platform. This collaboration aims to provide customers with more ways to compare, customize, and save on flights. Travelers can now access Southwest’s extensive network of over 4,000 daily flights to more than 100 destinations across the U.S., Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
By booking through Priceline, customers can also bundle Southwest flights with hotels and car rentals, potentially unlocking additional savings. This partnership enhances the convenience for travelers, offering a one-stop shop for their travel needs.
Earning Rapid Rewards Points
Despite booking through Priceline, travelers can still earn Southwest’s Rapid Rewards points. This ensures that customers continue to benefit from the airline’s loyalty program, accumulating points for future travel. The integration of Southwest flights into Priceline’s platform maintains the value of the Rapid Rewards program while expanding booking options for travelers.
Availability Across Booking Holdings Brands
In addition to Priceline, Southwest flights are now available for booking across other Booking Holdings brands, including Booking.com and Agoda. This broadens the reach of Southwest Airlines, making it more accessible to a global audience. Travelers can now plan and book their trips across multiple platforms, enjoying the same benefits and rewards.
Enhancing Customer Experience
This partnership reflects Southwest Airlines’ commitment to enhancing the customer experience by providing more flexibility and options for booking travel. By collaborating with Priceline and other Booking Holdings brands, Southwest aims to meet the evolving needs of travelers in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
