Southwest Airlines Kidds Kids send off

This year Southwest had one more time the opportunity to be part of a good cause.  The Airlines has partnered with radio deejay Kidd Kraddick’s charity, Kidd’s Kids, by loaning him one of our Southwest jets to send more than 57 deserving families to Disney World "The Happiest Place on Earth" in Orlando, Florida for a fantastic few days adventure.

The trip allows children with special medical needs to take a break from their daily stresses and enjoy a family getaway. After boarding the plane, Employees gave the  little heroes a special Southwest send-off with waves and cheers as they departed on the trip of a lifetime.  

Southwest Airlines takes seriously its commitment to people and their communities. By partnering with Kraddick’s charity,  SWA is allowing families with special needs children to create happy and memorable moments at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It is amazing what a fun trip can do. These kids look so happy that they don't look sick to me.

Southwest makes the top 100 military friendly employer list 4 years in a row!! I was unaware of how committed Southwest is to the military, but they are one of the leading employers of veterans with over 5,000 employees who serve in the national guard and reserves. "Our Employees are our competitive advantage, and we salute all of our Employees, but especially those who have served, for their dedication to Southwest and helping us remain the most successful airline in the history of aviation."
