For advance purchase fares, tickets must be purchased at least 14 days
before departure. Seats are limited and will not be available on some
flights that operate during very busy travel times and holiday periods.
Fares do not include a $3.10 federal segment tax per takeoff and landing.
Fares do not include airport-assessed passenger facility charges (PFC) of
up to $9 one-way and U.S. government-imposed September 11th Security Fees
of up to $5 one-way. Fares are subject to change until ticketed. Tickets
are nonrefundable but (except for tickets purchased through our Group
Tickets program) may be applied toward the purchase of future travel on
Southwest Airlines. Fares are valid on published, scheduled service only.
Any change in itinerary may result in an increase in fare. Fares are not
necessarily common rated in Houston, the Bay Area, or the Los Angeles
Basin.

Southwest Airlines’ web site, http://www.southwest.com/ , offers some of
the industry’s lowest online airfares. Customers with an electronic
“Ticketless” reservation also may print a Boarding Pass on their day of
travel directly from the airline’s web site.
