Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are based on, and include statements about, our estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions, and strategies for the future, and the assumptions underlying these forward-looking
statements. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148;

Therefore, actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by our forward-looking statements or from historical experience or our present expectations. Known material risk factors that could cause these differences are set
forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, that are incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which represent our

and our subsidiaries to incur additional secured debt. If we incur any additional secured debt, our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries that are security for that debt will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the event of
our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, or other winding up, assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in

decide not to rate the notes in its sole discretion. The ratings of each series of notes will be based primarily on the rating organization&#146;s assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due and the payment of principal on

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Southwest Airlines Co. operates Southwest Airlines, a major passenger airline that provides scheduled air transportation in the United States
and selected near-international markets. We commenced service on June&nbsp;18, 1971, with three Boeing 737 aircraft serving three Texas cities: Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. As of November 13, 2017, we served 100 destinations in 40 states in the
U.S., the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and ten international countries near the U.S.: Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas (Nassau), Aruba, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Belize, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and
Caicos Islands. At September&nbsp;30, 2017, our fleet consisted of 687 Boeing 737 aircraft. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our financial results and the financial
results for airlines in general can be seasonal in nature. In many years, our revenues, as well as our operating income and net income, have been better in our second and third fiscal quarters than in our first and fourth fiscal quarters. Air travel
is also significantly affected by general economic conditions, the amount of disposable income available to consumers, unemployment levels, corporate travel budgets, natural disasters, and other factors beyond our control. These and other factors,
such as the price of jet fuel in some periods, the nature of our fuel hedging program, the periodic volatility of commodities used by us for hedging jet fuel, and the requirements related to hedge accounting, have created, and may continue to
create, significant volatility in our financial results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional information about us is included in our reports and other documents
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </P>

summary of the material provisions of each series of notes and the indenture. It does not restate the indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the applicable
series of notes. We have filed a form of the indenture as an exhibit to our registration statement, which includes the accompanying prospectus. This description of the notes supplements, and, to the extent it is inconsistent with, replaces, the
description of the general provisions of the notes and the indenture in the accompanying prospectus. Each series of notes is a series of our debt securities as that term is used in the accompanying prospectus. </I></P>

interpretations, all as of the date of this document, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to different interpretations. Congress is currently considering certain legislative proposals that, if

investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short
positions in such securities and instruments. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations

no public trading markets for the notes. We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the notes on any securities exchange or to arrange for the notes to be quoted on any quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that they intend
to make a market in each series of the notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making in the notes of either series at any time in their sole discretion. Therefore, we cannot assure you that liquid trading
markets for either series of the notes will develop, that you will be able to sell your notes at a particular time, or that the price you receive when you sell will be favorable. </P>

notes. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases to peg, fix, or maintain the price of either series of the notes. If the underwriters create a short position in either series of the notes in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell
more notes of a series than are on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing such notes in the open market. Purchases of a security to stabilize the price or to reduce a short
position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the
transactions described above may have on the price of either series of the notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P>

that constitute &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are based on, and include statements
about, Southwest&#146;s estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions, and strategies for the future, and the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148;

Default Occurs.&#148; Second, the trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending you interest payments, transferring your debt securities to a new buyer if you sell, and sending you notices. </P>

Ownership&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Street Name and Other Indirect Holders.&#148; If we choose to issue debt securities in the form of global securities, the ultimate beneficial owners can only be indirect holders. We do this by requiring that the global
security be registered in the name of a financial institution we select and by requiring that the debt securities included in the global security not be transferred to the name of any other direct holder unless the special circumstances described
below occur. The financial institution that acts as the sole direct holder of the global security is called the depositary. Any person wishing to own a debt security must do so indirectly by virtue of an account with a broker, bank or other
financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary. The prospectus supplement indicates whether your series of securities will be issued only in the form of global securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Special Investor Considerations for Global Securities</I>. As an indirect holder, an investor&#146;s rights relating to a global security
will be governed by the account rules of the investor&#146;s financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize this type of investor as a holder of debt securities and instead
deal only with the depositary that holds the global security. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You may exchange or transfer debt securities at the office of the trustee. The trustee acts as our agent for registering debt securities in
the names of holders and transferring debt securities. We may change this appointment to another entity or perform these functions ourselves. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the security
registrar. It will also perform transfers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities, but
you may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The transfer or exchange will only be made if we and the security registrar are satisfied with your proof of ownership. </P>

we may block the transfer or exchange of debt securities for a period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of redemption, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or
exchanges of debt securities selected for redemption, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any debt security being partially redeemed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Payment and Paying Agents</I>. We will pay interest to you if you are a direct holder listed in the trustee&#146;s records at the close of
business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if you no longer own the debt security on the interest due date. That particular day, usually about two weeks in advance of the interest due date, is called the regular
record date and is stated in the prospectus supplement. Holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between them how to compensate for the fact that we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the one who is the registered
holder on the regular record date. The most common manner is to adjust the sales price of the securities to pro rate interest fairly between buyer and seller. This prorated interest amount is called accrued interest. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will pay interest, principal and any other money due on the debt securities at the corporate trust office of the trustee in Dallas, Texas.
You must make arrangements to have your payments picked up at or wired from that office. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks. However, if the debt securities are represented by a global security, we will make payments to the
depositary by wire. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">STREET NAME AND OTHER INDIRECT HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR BANKS, BROKERS OR OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FOR

securities of all series affected (voting as one class) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. The trustee is required, within 90 days of acquiring
knowledge of a default with respect to the debt securities of any series, to give you notice of the default, unless the default has been cured or waived before it gives the notice; however, the trustee may withhold notice of any non-payment default
if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of debt securities of that series. </P>
