Southwest Is Making It Easier to Get to Taylor Swift’s U.S. Concerts With These Flights
13.07.2024 - 11:28 / travelandleisure.com / Taylor Swift
Southwest Airlines is ready for it — ready for Taylor Swift, that is.
The carrier will add 10 more flights to its schedule to help fans fly to Taylor Swift concerts across the country this fall, Southwest shared with Travel + Leisure. The airline said the increased schedule follows strong demand from Swift’s United States tour last year.
“Look what you made us do!” Southwest wrote in a statement shared with T+L. “Southwest Airlines is blasting T-Swift’s songs as it gets ready to welcome Taylor back to the United States as her global tour lands in Miami and New Orleans.”
Swifties will especially love the special flight numbers Southwest has chosen to mark the occasion.
On Oct. 17, the airline will fly flight number 22 (referring to her hit song) from Baltimore to Fort Lauderdale along with flight 1989 (the year she was born and the name of one of her albums) from Nashville to Miami. On Oct. 20, Southwest will operate flight 1313 (13 is her favorite number) from Miami to Nashville and flight 1213 from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore.
A few days later, Southwest will bring fans to New Orleans with additional flights to the city, including from Austin, Baltimore, Dallas, and San Antonio on Oct. 24 and Oct. 25. Then on Oct. 27, the airline said it would add additional flights back to those same cities.
“Southwest is excited to welcome Swifties and looks forward to celebrating with them as they hit the road to see one of the most successful female artists of all time!” the airline wrote. “And remember, just like your first two checked bags, bracelets fly free!”
Swift has been on a whirlwind journey as part of her very popular Eras Tour. In fact, the tour has been so popular, Swifties have been flying all over the world to see her perform, impacting hotel prices across the globe.
Currently, the singer has been making her way across Europe, but will come back to the U.S. to play in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis in October and November.

Growing up in rural Italy in the 1990s, Chiara Leone remembers spending Sundays at her grandmother’s. Big sheets of handmade pasta dried on cotton sheets in the bedroom. The aroma of ragu filled the air. Her grandmother hugged her in an apron, a flour-covered rolling pin in hand.

I took my daughters to see Taylor Swift. It was cheaper than a typical family vacation and more fun.
