LUV might celebrate the birth of its first flight on June 18, but the 19th has its own significance—National Kissing Day.
Whether coincidence or wholly intentional, Southwest has a robust (and well-documented) history of celebrating the kiss. Here’s a glimpse at Southwest’s homages to kissing through the years. Have one of your own? Submit it to our SWA Culture Facebook page, or upload it to your own Twitter account and use the #NationalKissingDay hashtag. Don’t forget to tag @SouthwestAir!
All you need is LUV!
