Lovers of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir may want to raise a glass for Southwest Airlines. On Monday, November 2, Dallas-based Southwest expanded its Sip and Ship program to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and three other Texas airports, enabling travelers to check qualifying bottles of wine at no extra cost.
The program already served 19 airports in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Now, Sip and Ship enables flyers to check one case of vino for free on flights from 23 U.S. participating airports. To ship more than one case, a traveler must pay a checked-bag fee.
In addition to Austin-Bergstrom, Southwest added Dallas Love Field, Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport, and San Antonio International Airport to Sip and Ship.
A Southwest spokesperson said the airline introduced the program at the four Texas airports “following an overwhelming response from Texas wine lovers and growers.”
