Celebrate with Southwest Employees

Southwest celebrates the love-holiday with its Employees and Customers. Employees are encouraged to plan local celebrations and provided a number of resources available through its internal Celebrate with Heart program. Resources include station decorations, photo frames, props, and much more as a way to engage Employees across the Company.

Valentine's Day is a signature holiday at Southwest Airlines and another opportunity to elevate how we share our Heart and Hospitality with Customers and Cohearts. From Feb. 1 through Feb. 14, uniformed Employees are encouraged to wear Valentine's-themed accessories with their full regulation uniform to help create a lighthearted and welcoming environment. To help set the mood on the aircraft and make a memorable travel experience for our Customers, Flight Attendants don festive holiday accessories like ties, aprons, nail art/color, scarves, socks, jewelry, headbands, barrettes, and clips.

The celebration continues with its annual Heroes of the Heart recognition announcement. Colleen Barrett, Southwest's President Emeritus, started Heroes of the Heart in 1993 as a way to honor an outstanding behind-the-scenes workgroup. The recipients of this annual accolade are revealed each February, and this year the tradition continues! Congrats to the People Department, Southwest's 2023 Heroes of the Heart recipients! The People Department will have their name emblazoned on an aircraft for the year and enjoy a recognition event in March.
