If you're traveling with a child on Southwest Airlines flights, there are certain policies and guidelines you should be aware of. Here's what you need to know:

  • Southwest allows infants and children aged 6 weeks to 11 years to travel on their flights.
  • Children under the age of 2 may travel for free if they are sitting on an adult's lap, otherwise, a child fare must be purchased.
  • Children aged 2 years or older must have their own seat and a child fare must be purchased.
  • Southwest Airlines offers families with young children priority boarding so you can get settled in before other passengers board.
  • If a child is traveling alone, Southwest Airlines offers an Unaccompanied Minor service that provides an escort throughout the flight.

Please note that Southwest Airlines' policies and guidelines are subject to change, and it's best to check with them directly before traveling.
