Southwest Airlines has once again partnered with Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” for a summer full of exciting and unique experiences. Celebrating the 11th year of this partnership, Southwest Airlines has planned a series of “Fin Flights” and exclusive in-flight content to delight passengers.
The festivities began on July 1, (2024), with a surprise “Fin Flight” to mark the beginning of the Shark Week celebrations. Passengers at Dallas Love Field were treated to a fun Shark trivia game in the gate area, where they received beach balls and sunglasses. The excitement continued as passengers boarded a special flight to Los Angeles (LAX). As a memento of the celebration, they received Shark Week’s iconic fin hats and eye masks. Chompie, the official Shark Week mascot, made a surprise appearance, posing for photos and joining the flight to LAX. Onboard, passengers aged 21 and over were offered a complimentary alcoholic beverage, including the Shark Week Special, featuring a gummy shark garnish. Southwest employees, dressed in special co-branded Shark Week t-shirts, welcomed passengers upon landing at LAX.
Ongoing Celebrations and Exclusive Content
The Shark Week festivities continue with another surprise “Fin Flight” during Shark Week, starting on Sunday, July 7, at 8:00 p.m. Passengers can look forward to more shark-themed fun and giveaways on this special flight.
