Airline Plans to Resume Service at 12 p.m. Eastern
DALLAS-Sept. 12, 2001-Southwest Airlines announced it currently
plans to resume scheduled service today at 12 p.m. Eastern, the
time at which the Federal Aviation Administration expects to

The nation's airports will be under heightened security following
the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. on

print out their Ticketless confirmation page on southwest.com, or
request a printed confirmation at the Southwest ticket counter.
The FAA has suspended curbside check-in at all airports. Customers
will need to go inside the airport to check their bags at the
ticket counter.
