“Southwest Airlines historically has had a unique and customer-friendly business model which includes making our fares available to the general public only on Southwest.com, a Southwest spokesperson told Travel + Leisure. “This new opportunity with Chase Travel allows us to reach new potential customers, as well as meet current demand for existing customers by making it more convenient.”
The two companies have long been partners, with Chase issuing Southwest co-branded credit cards as well as the ability to transfer Chase points 1:1 to Southwest through Ultimate Rewards. This is a natural progression of the relationship.
“As cardmembers continue to find value in using their points and booking travel in the channel of their choice, we’re thrilled to be deepening our relationship with Southwest Airlines and enhancing our offerings by providing this online booking capability,” said Jason Wynn, Head of Chase Travel.
Flights booked through Chase Travel with Ultimate Rewards will earn both Southwest Rapid Rewards points and Ultimate Rewards, an easy way to double dip on rewards. According to Chase Travel data, 65 percent of people agree that credit card rewards help them to afford items and experiences—like travel — that they couldn’t have otherwise afforded.
