Southwest Airlines began in 1971, when Rollin King and Herb Kelleher got together and decided to start a different kind of airline. Their goal: If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline.

Southwest was the first airline to establish a home page on the Internet.
