Southwest Airlines celebrated its three million Facebook fan milestone with a special discount offer and a signature "concept" plane dedicated to its fans. Southwest says it was the first airline to reach a million Facebook Fans back in 2010, and now is the first airline worldwide to amass three million Facebook fans.
To celebrate, Southwest offered a one-day discount with 50 percent off a roundtrip Wanna Get Away Fare. Southwest also created a rendering of its own "concept" Facebook aircraft paint scheme. The artwork for Facebook One can be found at www.blogsouthwest.com.
"For more than five years, we've been actively involved in social media as a way to join the conversation with our customers," says Linda Rutherford, Southwest Airlines Vice President of Communication and Strategic Outreach.
