Fifty years ago this month -- on June 18, to be exact -- Southwest Airlines launched its inaugural flight, ushering in a new era of cheap fares that made travel affordable for many more people, an anniversary that's also inspired the Dallas-based air carrier to launch a month-long series of deals and giveaways to commemorate the milestone.
For starters, Southwest has declared June 18 as "Wanna Get Away Day," which regular Southwest filers will note is a reference to one of the various ticket classes you can purchase from the airline. As part of this initiative, customers will be able to engage with Southwest throughout the month, with the airline teasing that the biggest surprises for customers will occur on that anniversary and newly-branded day of June 18. Among other things, the carrier is giving customers the chance to win a total of 50 million Rapid Rewards bonus points from June 1 through June 18, as well as customers having daily opportunities to win Rapid Rewards bonus points, with Southwest gift cards and Companion Passes also up for grabs.
