Southwest Airlines, in partnership with AULANI, A Disney Resort & Spa in Oahu, is celebrating its fifth anniversary of service to Hawaii with an exciting sweepstakes. The announcement follows a unique Lei Day celebration on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, marking the special Hawaiian tradition of honoring the lei as a symbol of aloha.

The Lei Day event took place aboard Imua One, a Southwest aircraft dedicated to the Hawaiian people and communities. Passengers on this flight were treated to a ukulele performance by Disney Ambassador Dylan Rogers, received kukui nut leis and Mickey Mouse ears, and enjoyed AULANI-themed Krispie treats. Upon arrival in Honolulu, they were welcomed with traditional Hawaiian music, dancers, and floral leis, creating a memorable start to their Hawaiian experience.

To commemorate this milestone, Southwest is offering a sweepstakes that gives travelers a chance to win a magical vacation package at AULANI. The package includes round-trip airfare to Honolulu for four, a four-night stay at AULANI, ground transfers, a $200 resort credit, and preferred seating at the KA WA'A luau. The sweepstakes runs from May 17 to May 31, and fans can enter at southwest.fm/takeflight.

This initiative underscores Southwest’s commitment to enhancing the travel experience by offering unique and culturally enriching opportunities. The sweepstakes and Lei Day celebration exemplify the airline's dedication to celebrating Hawaiian culture and providing its customers with unforgettable travel experiences.
