Southwest has reversed its long-standing direct-only strategy by partnering with major OTAs to attract new customers, causing direct channel revenue to drop from 81% to 78%. This creates a need for channel management, marketing analytics, and revenue optimization tools to manage a more complex distribution landscape.
Filing excerpt
The Company has expanded its distribution channels through partnerships with flight meta search engines, including Google Flights, Kayak, Skyscanner, and, in 2025, online travel agencies Expedia and Priceline, to increase visibility and drive traffic for bookings to Southwest.com.
