Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines is an airline giant, not only in the United States but in the world. Not only is the airline the single largest airline in the United States, but it is the third largest airline company in the entire world, and carries more passengers to more places each year than any other airline company out there. The company was founded in 1971 in Texas. They went through some legal court issues at the very beginning, as competing companies accused Southwest Airlines (Air Southwest at that point in time) of infringing upon their air space, taking their business and flying their passengers.

Of course, Air Southwest prevailed in this legal matter and set a precedent for all of the airline companies who try to claim rights or claim certain air space that can not be owned. The Supreme Court refused to review the case and gave an even greater validity to the message that was broadcast about flying rights.

For a full Southwest Airlines price list, you can log onto their company’s website at www.southwest.com and check out a price list, and take advantage of any cheap fares, such as the SW 39 cent flight program, where you can buy certain flights for as little as thirty nine cents or even view your Southwest airline reservations. Many people like Southwest just because they are one of few airlines who still utilize the credit card air phone (in most planes).

Southwest Airlines is a large airline company but it is known to have great low rates. The airline company has a large fleet of over 480 planes, headed in more than 60 directions all across the world. Southwest has always made it easier anymore affordable for people to get from place ot place without breaking the bank.

As far as livery goes, Southwest Airlines sure does not fly the prettiest planes on the runway, but by all means they will be noticed. Unlike many of the white planes out there, Southwest Airlines livery is a light brown and red striped body, with a pinstripe of white between the two colors. The word SOUTHWEST is emblazoned across the tail of Southwest Air lines planes.
