Southwest’s new Sip and Ship™ program allows customers to take home wine country’s best souvenir: vino! Each Customer can check one (1) case of wine free of charge. Selections must be placed in a standard wine shipping box or wine case that meets checked bag requirements.
As Southwest continues to expand its network, including recent openings in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Knoxville, Tennessee, St. Maarten – which also opened today – and Anchorage, which is expected to open in May, the airline remains focused on creating more convenient ways for customers to explore and enjoy new and exciting places. The introduction of Sip and Ship™ complements this growth by adding a customer benefit for those visiting wine country, ensuring every trip with Southwest delivers reliability, flexibility and an unforgettable experience, down to the very last drop.
