Southwest Airlines Vacations
Now Offers Hawaii Vacations

Southwest Airlines Vacations has added Hawaii vacations to its current family of 43 U.S. package destination hot spots. Hawaii travel is made possible via Southwest Airlines' (NYSE:LUV) codeshare service with ATA Airlines.

That relationship allows Southwest Airlines Vacations to offer air-inclusive vacation packages to the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu (via Honolulu) and Maui. In addition, Southwest Airlines Vacations currently offers a land-only package to Kauai and will begin offering air-inclusive vacation packages to Hawaii's Big Island (via Hilo) starting next Friday, August 25, 2006.

"We are excited to expand our product offering and offer travelers Hawaii vacation options," said Rich Basen, Vice President and General Manager of Southwest Airlines Vacations. "Prior to adding Hawaii to our vacation destinations, 22 percent of our Customers told us that their next vacation would be to a destination that we did not serve at that time. Travel packages to Hawaii were on the top of their lists. This opportunity allows us to combine Southwest Airlines' famous low fares and Customer Service with the well-known hotel, transportation, and attraction discounts offered with our vacation packages. We believe our Customers and travel agents will be very pleased."

Hawaiian vacations include roundtrip air via Southwest Airlines and ATA, hotel accommodations for two to 21 nights, applicable air and hotel taxes, express document delivery, Rapid Rewards Flight Credit, and 24-hour traveler assistance. Honolulu vacations also include a Standard Lei Greeting and a Hawaii Welcome Orientation. Regardless of where vacationers begin their Hawaii travel, they may book their hotel stay covering several Hawaiian Islands.
