Getting soaked during Shamu`s show at SeaWorld or zipping through the air on a giant roller coaster at Busch Gardens just became easier with the click of a mouse. Tickets are now available through southwest.com to SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Antonio, SeaWorld San Diego, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Adventure Island, Water Country USA, and Sesame Place.

“This is a perfect fit for Southwest because we are all about Customer convenience,” said Sally Harbeson, manager of business development. “The addition of Anheuser-Busch Adventure Parks tickets to our already convenient air, car, and hotel options make planning a vacation or quick getaway that much easier.”
Southwest has been a sponsor of SeaWorld since 1988 and has three planes in its fleet painted in the image of Shamu the whale. In 2003, the relationship between Anheuser-Busch Adventure Parks and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) expanded when Southwest became the Official Airline of all seven of the company`s parks. In 1995, Southwest launched the first web site in the airline industry. Today, southwest.com is considered the largest airline web site and ranks as one of the largest e-commerce sites with the likes of Amazon.com. Southwest now estimates that more than 50 percent of its annual revenues—in excess of $2 billion—is generated through online bookings via southwest.com.
Southwest currently operates nearly 2,800 daily flights to 59 airports in 58 cities in 30 states. Southwest employs more than 35,000 people nationwide.
