How many flights have you been on in the last six years? Chances are Ayden Bichsel has you beat. This young jetsetter started flying Southwest when he was just three weeks old, and he hasn’t stopped since. After celebrating his sixth birthday last month, Ayden hopped on a plane with his dad, Brad, to visit his grandparents in New York City. After a connection in Baltimore, the second leg of their journey to Long Island marked Ayden’s 300th career flight. As you can imagine, a passion for travel runs in the family. Ayden’s parents, a traveling music duo known as Brad + Rebekah, are A-List Customers, too. Dad even has a Companion Pass. Congrats on reaching an exciting milestone, Ayden. We’re looking forward to 300 more!
