Rapid Rewards Freedom Story Aaron Baddeley + PRO GO L FE R , S C OT T S DA L E , A R IZO N A IN THE CLUB Being a SWA Rapid Rewards Member pays off for Aaron. 20 SPIRIT MAY 2014 When Aaron Baddeley began his career as a professional golfer, he never imagined that one day he'd be sinking putts down the aisle of a jet bound for Houston. Thanks to the partnership between Southwest Airlines and Adams Golf, Aaron and his teammates have gotten to do just that. Talk about having fun on the fly! But the LUV affair between Aaron and Southwest doesn't end with wowing unsuspecting travelers. Juggling his constantly changing schedule can be a challenge, which is a big reason why Aaron chooses Southwest over other carriers: If he needs to change a flight, he knows he won't get hit with a fee. Once onboard, Aaron enjoys staying connected via free WiFi, a benefit of being an A-List Preferred Member of Southwest's Rapid Rewards Frequent Flyer program. Plus, he never misses a minute of the action while traveling since Golf Channel is available, courtesy of DISH®, on all Southwest flights equipped with live TV. Aaron especially appreciates that (golf) Bags Fly Free, and his favorite perk of the Rapid Rewards program is the fact that there are no blackout dates, making it easy for him to redeem his points and swing last-minute trips with ease. While his career requires him to be on the road quite a bit, Aaron doesn't let it interfere with family time. His wife and three children join him on the majority of his trips. (Aaron says Southwest has always been his No. 1 airline because of the abundance of nonstop flights to PGA Tour stops from his home airport, Phoenix Sky Harbor.) He and his family are also big fans of Southwest's open-seating policy, which allows them to select their favorite available seats and stay together once they board. Aaron, we're proud to call you an MVP at Southwest. We can't wait to welcome you and your family onboard next time you're en route to another big tournament. -Erin Terry PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAN COOGAN
