It’s a great honor to share that Southwest Airlines ^® was named to the first-ever Forbes’ 2023 Customer Experience All-Stars list! We rank No. 100 out of 300 brands that consumers in the U.S. viewed most positively for the company’s products, services, and treatment of customers.

We’ve made several strides to enhance the journeys our Customers take with us. In 2022, we outlined our two-billion-dollar plan to transform our Customer Experience. Since then, we launched enhanced inflight WiFi¹ connectivity, installed larger overhead bins and in-seat power onboard new aircraft deliveries, offered more onboard entertainment¹ options and a wider selection of refreshments in the cabin², enabled more self-service digital capabilities, and introduced enhancements to the Southwest Rapid Rewards^® program.

Our goal is to make traveling with Southwest^® as easy as possible while enabling our Employees to deliver the Southwest Hospitality that we are famous for. We are so thankful for our loyal Customers who choose Southwest and give us an opportunity to show why we are the airline with Heart.

Truly amazing, considering there is only 1 other airline in the top 100 (Hawaiian Airlines) who came in at 95, only 5 spots above Southwest Airlines. Not to mention, in the entire list of 300 there are only 5 airlines total, with the next closest airline being 57 spots behind Southwest Airlines with some of the "big boy" airlines not even showing up on the list. Way to go SWA - Keep up the LUV!!! ❤️
