DALLAS, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southwest Airlines announced today the addition of The Venetian and The Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino properties as new preferred partners of the carrier's frequent flyer program, Rapid Rewards. Rapid Rewards Members now have the option to earn Rapid Rewards credit for each qualifying stay at both hotel properties. Additionally, Members who book their hotel stays on southwest.com by Nov. 5, 2009, can earn double credit for stays through Dec. 31, 2009. To book a reservation, visit: southwest.com.



"Southwest is the largest airline serving Las Vegas, and this new partnership with The Venetian and The Palazzo brings added value to the millions of Customers we transport to Las Vegas each year," said Ryan Green, Southwest's director of customer loyalty.



"We are pleased to be the first and only Las Vegas Resort-Hotel-Casino property to partner with Southwest Airlines on their renowned Rapid Rewards Program," stated Manny Olaiz, senior vice president of leisure sales for The Venetian and The Palazzo. "Consumers who participate in this program and stay at one of our Las Vegas properties will enjoy luxurious amenities and excellent service while earning Rapid Reward credits towards their next flight on Southwest Airlines. This is a great benefit and added value for our guests."



About Southwest Airlines

It is fast and easy to earn free travel through Rapid Rewards. Rapid Rewards Members earn credits by flying or using the program's Preferred Partners. It takes just eight roundtrips, or 16 credits, to qualify for an Award. However, Members can accelerate their earnings by using the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Card from Chase, doing business with any of the airline's other Preferred Partners, or by purchasing Southwest's Business Select fares when flying. Plus, once it's earned, Southwest Airlines allows the Member to transfer the Award to anyone. The Award is free but subject to the U.S. government-imposed September 11th Security Fee of up to $10 roundtrip.



After 38 years of service, Southwest Airlines continues to differentiate itself from other low fare carriers--offering a reliable product with exemplary Customer Service. Southwest Airlines is the most productive airline in the sky and offers Customers a comfortable traveling experience. Southwest recently updated its gate areas and improved its boarding procedure to make flying Southwest convenient and simple. Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), the nation's largest carrier in terms of domestic passengers enplaned, currently serves 67 cities in 34 states. Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates more than 3,200 flights a day and has more than 35,000 Employees systemwide.
