Beginning of SWA

[jason1214]

Does anyone know the exact restaurant where Herb Kellerher drew a little map of the idea for SWA on a napkin which was done at a local San Antonio Restaurant, accroding Wikapedia.

I am trying to find the name of the restaurant where this was done, as quoted

" Kelleher and one of his law clients, Texas businessman Rollin King, created the concept with banker John Parker that later became Southwest Airlines on a cocktail napkin in a San Antonio restaurant. "

Hi @jason1214,

The place you're thinking of, where Herb Kelleher's famous napkin art birthed the concept of Southwest Airlines, was the St. Anthony Club (St. Anthony Hotel) in the fall of 1966.

Great question! Thanks for posting in on the Southwest Community!
