Southwest, Philippine Airlines Launch Interline Partnership for U.S.–Pacific Connections

Joint itineraries are live through Philippine Airlines or select travel sites, with Southwest loyalty benefits not yet supported.

Overview

  • The interline arrangement enables single-ticket travel linking Philippine Airlines’ transoceanic routes with Southwest’s U.S. network effective immediately.
  • Connections are routed through Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Honolulu as designated gateways.
  • Bookings must be made via Philippine Airlines’ website or select online travel agencies, not through Southwest’s channels.
  • Rapid Rewards points cannot be earned or redeemed on these itineraries for now.
  • Philippine Airlines becomes Southwest’s fourth overseas partner as the carrier explores additional transatlantic tie-ups later this year and prepares product updates such as assigned seating starting January 27, 2026.
