Identification and Ticket Requirements

ONLY TICKETED CUSTOMERS ALLOWED BEYOND THE SECURITY CHECKPOINT

All Southwest Airlines Vacations packages require paper airline tickets. Your Southwest Airlines tickets are included in your travel documents and you must have them in your possession in order to travel.

Unticketed Customers who have a specific need (escorting/meeting Unaccompanied Children; assisting Customers with disabilities; etc.) will be allowed beyond the security checkpoint provided they have obtained proper approval from Southwest Airlines ticket counter personnel.

ALL CUSTOMERS ARE SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL SEARCH AT THE SECURITY CHECKPOINT
Random physical searches of Customers, either through use of "wands" or "pat down" methods at the security checkpoint, will be ongoing.

KNIVES OR SHARP OBJECTS OF ANY TYPE ARE NOT ALLOWED BEYOND SECURITY CHECKPOINT
Knives of any/all types and sizes are strictly prohibited beyond the security checkpoint. If you must travel with special paraphernalia (ie needles, EpiPens, etc) carry a legible doctor's note explaining your medical condition.

IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED
Southwest Airlines Vacations Customers will need valid state or federal government-issued picture identification to travel (passport, driver's license, state-issued identification card, or military identification are acceptable).
