Arturo Alfaro has a passion for finance-so it's no surprise that before selecting Southwest Airlines for his
business travel needs, he calculated the benefits of the
Rapid Rewards Frequent Flyer program. He determined
that traveling with Southwest would not only save him
money but also provide an opportunity for more family
vacations. Arturo knows that Southwest's low-stress
travel lets him focus on working hard and that earning
points with the Rapid Rewards program allows him to
play hard later.
"At Deloitte, all of my team members originally flew on
different airlines. But after a few years, they all began to
switch to Southwest," Arturo says. "They saw how much
I benefitted from the Rapid Rewards program and how
many points I was accumulating."
Arturo puts those points to good use by traveling with
his family all over the country. They recently embarked
on a three-week excursion across the U.S., using his
points to fly to Southwest destinations including Baltimore, New York City, Boston, San Diego, and Seattle.
He is enthusiastic about the changes coming to Southwest that will bring even more travel opportunities.
This month, Arturo plans to fly to Aruba to celebrate
Southwest's new international destinations. "I also look
forward to flying out of Love Field the day the Wright
Amendment restrictions end," he says. "Even if I have
to buy a ticket, I can't wait to fly nonstop to Chicago,
Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa Bay, or New York City."
The many flights that Arturo has taken over the past
eight years as a Rapid Rewards Member have had a
somewhat unusual effect on his family: All three of his
children-Arturo Jr., Benjamin, and Julianna-can
identify from a distance what type of Boeing 737 the
family will be flying.
"They would like to be pilots at Southwest in the
future-which would be a cool way for Dad to get even
more free tickets," Arturo jokes.
Arturo, we LUV keeping your business travel simple
and your family vacations elaborate. We look forward to
continuing to serve you! -Rebecca Martineau
