Southwest Airlines continues its strategy to lure more Asia travelers onto its flight network.
The airline has just inked a partnership with flag carrier Philippine Airlines.
Available now through Philippine Airlines and third-party booking sites, Philippine Airlines customers can book interline through tickets across the US via Southwest hubs at Honolulu, Seattle, San Francisco and LAX.
“Our interline partnership with Southwest Airlines enables seamless connections and single-ticket journeys across both of our networks,” said PAL VP – Revenue Management, Christoph Gaertner.
“As we continue to expand PAL’s global reach, this collaboration provides more travel options and greater flexibility to a wider range of destinations in the United States.”
“With nearly 90 flights daily that touch the Hawaiian Islands and as California’s largest air carrier, Southwest is positioned like no other airline in serving Philippine Airlines’ passengers arriving or departing the United States,” added Andrew Watterson, Southwest COO.
PAL serves nearly 70 domestic and international destinations in Asia, North America, Australia, and the Middle East.
