en.Wedoany.com Reported - South Korean hybrid carrier Air Premia has announced the launch of an interline partnership with Southwest Airlines, becoming the first Korean airline to establish such a collaboration with the largest domestic carrier in the United States. Under the agreement, passengers can travel to over 120 destinations within Southwest's network on a single ticket.

The two airlines will provide connecting services via Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu, enabling travelers from South Korea to conveniently reach destinations that currently have limited or no direct flights from South Korea, including Las Vegas, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Denver, Portland, and Nashville. Tickets for these new interline routes will be available for sale starting July 8 through travel agencies and online booking channels. Southwest Airlines operates the largest domestic route network in the United States, serving destinations nationwide as well as 11 countries in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Passengers arriving from South Korea and needing to connect to other U.S. destinations must collect their checked baggage and complete customs clearance at the first point of entry; however, passengers transferring from Southwest domestic flights to Air Premia international flights can have their baggage checked through to the final destination.
