Insights
Southwest and Philippine Airlines launched an interline partnership to expand US–Asia connectivity; operational details and timing are limited.
Southwest Airlines and Philippine Airlines will enable single‑ticket, interline connections at LAX, SEA, SFO and HNL, broadening routing options for passengers who can now book combined itineraries through PAL and third‑party sites.
