In 2017, when Southwest introduced the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to our fleet, we were able to take advantage of the capability to play music during the boarding process on those aircraft to enhance our Customer Experience. We’ve heard requests from many Customers who want to know what songs are included in the playlist, so check out the details of the winter playlist (playing now through April) below!

 

In curating this playlist, we focus on blending recognizable radio hits while also providing the opportunity for our Customers and Employees to discover up-and-coming artists and new music.
