Singapore Airlines (SIA) and U.S. carrier Southwest Airlines have inked a new interline partnership, expanding travel possibilities for international travelers. The agreement allows passengers to book single-ticket journeys between Singapore Changi Airport and almost 120 destinations within Southwest's U.S. network.
This new collaboration enables SIA passengers to connect seamlessly to these U.S. destinations via three key airports: Los Angeles International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport. Travelers can book these combined itineraries through SIA, travel agents, and various websites.
An interline partnership facilitates booking multi-airline itineraries on a single ticket, simplifying the travel process. Passengers only need to check in once, and their baggage is automatically transferred to connecting flights. SIA becomes the eighth airline to join Southwest's interline partnership program, which already includes carriers like All Nippon Airways, China Airlines, EVA Air, Philippine Airlines, and Turkish Airlines.
In those shared gateway airports, international travellers can now seamlessly connect to nearly 120 airports in the Southwest network.
