DALLAS-Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) earlier this week re-launched its well-known and much-LUVed 'Wanna Get Away' campaign for fall and winter travel. Through the carrier's advertising, they are able to capture relatable 'Wanna Get Away' moments and share much-needed humor with Customers, especially teachers and parents who have been placed on the front line of the pandemic.
Southwest Recognizes Heroic Teachers in Action
In this current time, teachers have even more challenges-from virtual teaching to optimizing social distancing opportunities in classrooms. Southwest is showing some LUV by recognizing some of these heroic teachers.
Callie Evans and Audrianna Williams of Monroe High School in Albany, Georgia are two of the select teachers that were presented with 40,000 Rapid Rewards' bonus points for going the extra mile. The two teamed up to create a viral back-to-school rap to help their students adapt to the new changes.
