Young Passenger gets the birthday of his dreams | Southwest Airlines

Meet River, a 5-year-old Southwest Superfan. When we heard he wanted a Southwest birthday party, we invited him to come to Southwest Headquarters for a day of fun.

[@inactivexxxx]

I went on a southwest airlines flight a few days ago and all of the flight attendants were so nice. Out of all the airlines I’ve been on, southwest is honestly my favorite

[@Project2457official]

Future pilot right here, he certainly has the enthusiasm

[@737_lover]

@@cocoasbackrooms4678 nope, this enthusiastic little flight simmer gonna be a pilot!

[@Rip_thefishermanlol]

Lol I'm gonna be a fisherman and pilot lol I'm already a fisher man tho

[@aviation_aiden]

River reminds me of myself when I flew on a commercial flight for the first time, on southwest. I was super excited. I remember asking to see the cockpit and I asked questions to the pilots and the answered happily. I gained a lot of knowledge and was able to start up a 737 in my home flight simulator for the first time. I am getting to the age where I can start going to flight school. I hope one day I will be able to fly for southwest. Thanks for sharing! Good luck out there River!

Aviation Aiden I’m 14 and I figured out how to fly a 737-800 on X-Plane

[@dogebreh]

That was me!

[@DMVRailfan]

River here reminds me of how I acted when I was five. I just loved airplanes. I even wore uniforms on the plane. You have no idea how much respect they gave me.

[@mattbrichacek8978]

This was adorable, it's sweet that you guys went out of your way to do this for him. Can't wait to fly southwest tomorrow!

[@maxgorman_9785]

I might be 14 but I would find that as a great birthday for me

I’m 76 and I’m in my second childhood - I love Southwest too and I’d like to be hanging around these cool young kids who love Southwest and want to become pilots! Help them fulfill their dreams Lord.

It's so funny, he started out with one toy plane and at the end of the day he had his arm full of toy planes. Southwest you guy's are awesome, you will definitely get my business.

This is one of the many reasons why I love Southwest

Avery the Airplane I agree with you 100%

[@AmusementVision]

It makes a lot of sense on why their logo is a heart

[@dopeyslife6027]

Dear Southwest, You guys are the best airline ever! U guys are so funny u guys always make me smile and one day when I grow up I wanna be a pilot for ur airline btw I fly Southwest Airlines 2 times a year from,ur biggest fan Meyer ❤️❤️

I aint never seen anybody that excited to get on a southwest flight but it was so adorable

[@EzraEel05]

That kid is ADORABLE!!

[@evancollins5280]

I like Alaska but southwest hands down my favorite

[@CosbyTheCaterpillar]

I like American, but I've found myself gravitating towards Southwest more and more because what other airline lets TWO free bags on? Even ONE free bag would be incredible, TWO free bags is unheard of outside of Southwest. Most people also think Southwest doesn't have in-flight Entertainment. Not true actually, you just use your mobile device instead of having screens on each of the TV's. IMO that's a smarter idea lol.

[@SunsetGreat]

I like southwest

[@DorothyReed-io1vz]

I experienced my first flight with Southwest on 20 April leaving California coming to Austin Texas to live with my family it was awesome I had fun I was a little nervous at first when I first bought it but then after that I got used to it you guys are the best thank you for a safe landing I got here safe to Texas

[@brodygriesemer]

my first flight was a Southwest flight when I was five. Ever since then, aviation has mesmerized me. I still have a little plane model of an old Southwest 737. While it has become beat-up over time, it still brings warm memories of my first time flying.

Fuck my fear of heights. If im flying with any airliner company it's gonna be Southwest Airlines.
Edit: i feel that kid's excitement on a spiritual level. My childhood memories of all my most exciting moments all came back at once. Southwest Airlines truly went above and beyond for this precious little soul to have the time of his life. Thank you for going out of your way for him SW-Airlines ❤
