Frequent Travelers Feature

My Digital Experience team launched Frequent Travelers, allowing customers to save their travel companions and quickly add them to future bookings.

The Feature

Frequent Travelers makes it easy to book with the people you travel with most:

  • Save companion details - Store name, birthdate, and other required information
  • Quick add during booking - Select saved travelers instead of re-entering details
  • Edit anytime - Update stored information as needed
  • Secure storage - Companion data safely stored in your account

Adoption Results

The feature saw strong early adoption:

Customer Value

For customers who frequently travel with family, friends, or colleagues, this feature saves significant time. Instead of re-entering passenger details for each booking, travelers can simply select from their saved list and complete their purchase faster.

Save your travel companions once, book with them instantly—keeping Southwest competitive with time-saving features.
