DALLAS, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Is it a nip, a tuck? Nope, it's a

The mobile site is available among a variety of web enabled devices including
the iPhone and Blackberry.
"Southwest knows our Customers run their lives via mobile devices and need
access to southwest.com in an easy-to-view application," said Southwest's Vice
President Marketing, Sales, and Distribution Kevin Krone. "Making a
reservation, cancelling a reservation, and checking a Rapid Rewards account
are now all possible via a handheld device. This marks our first step in
providing a more complete southwest.com experience via a mobile or handheld
device."
Previously, Southwest mobile Customers had the ability to checkin for flights,
cancel reservations, contact Southwest Airlines, and view Southwest's terms
and conditions. Now, Southwest Airlines mobile Customers can also book a
flight, log on to Rapid Rewards, view schedules, and check flight status.
"The redesign of the site provides Customers more options at just the touch of
the screen or click of a button," Krone said. "Mobile devices are a vital
part of a traveler's life, and Southwest will continue to enhance how we are
represented on these devices."
After almost 38 years of service, Southwest Airlines, the nation's leading
low-fare carrier, is the most productive airline in the sky and offers
Customers a comfortable traveling experience. Southwest offers all premium
leather seats and plenty of legroom with a young all-Boeing 737 fleet.
Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) currently serves 65 cities in 33 states, with
service beginning to New York LaGuardia and Boston Logan this summer and to
Milwaukee later this year. Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates more
than 3,300 flights a day and has more than 35,000 Employees systemwide.
