Southwest Airlines' main objective is not luxury; its main objective is quality discount air travel. Mercury News columnist and frequent flyer L.A Chung calls them "the hero of budget travelers." To provide these deep discounts, Southwest only flies Boeing 737 aircraft (Adkins). The typical Boeing 737 is a no-frills affair with simple seats, one aisle, three-seat rows, and no first class section (Adkins).

Today, Southwest Airlines has nearly 34,000 employees. It flies to 64 different cities, has more than 500 planes and is the nation's sixth largest airline. But what makes Southwest Southwest is the fact that it turns flights around fast. This came about by accident because in the beginning, when it had only four airplanes, it had to sell one of them just to stay in business.
