Southwest, EVA Air announce interline partnership

EVA Air and Southwest (LUV) Airlines have entered a new interline agreement effective immediately, the companies announced. This collaboration now connects EVA Air passengers in the four cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago to other cities in the United States with Southwest Airlines’ network. “The partnership expands connectivity across the United States and provides travelers with increased convenience and access to a wider range of destinations. This strategic agreement creates an integrated network across the participating gateway airports of both airlines. Passengers can now book a single itinerary including flights operated by both carriers, with coordinated ticketing and through-checked baggage service to their final destination. Travelers will also receive boarding passes for all segments of their journey at the first point of departure, making connections more straightforward and efficient,” the companies stated.
