Young Passenger gets the birthday of his dreams | Southwest Airlines

Meet River, a 5-year-old Southwest Superfan. When we heard he wanted a Southwest birthday party, we invited him to come to Southwest Headquarters for a day of fun.

I went on a southwest airlines flight a few days ago and all of the flight attendants were so nice. Out of all the airlines I’ve been on, southwest is honestly my favorite

[@Project2457official]

Future pilot right here, he certainly has the enthusiasm

I aint never seen anybody that excited to get on a southwest flight but it was so adorable

[@DorothyReed-io1vz]

I experienced my first flight with Southwest on 20 April leaving California coming to Austin Texas to live with my family it was awesome I had fun I was a little nervous at first when I first bought it but then after that I got used to it you guys are the best thank you for a safe landing I got here safe to Texas

[@AmusementVision]

It makes a lot of sense on why their logo is a heart

[@Gavinnewby]

As a kid with the Southwest credit card this is how I celebrate my birthday

[@user-ju3gm5kv9n]

I am ten right now and after 8 year of studying to fly the 737-800 on msfs and lots of aviation book later I turned out like this This little man is going places

[@NoahBAC]

When he grow up he should call himself Captain river while he works at Southwest Airlines

[@GuyGuy-kr5lh]

Bro, did a Ryan air landing

[@clairegallegos2612]

I’m 76 and I’m in my second childhood - I love Southwest too and I’d like to be hanging around these cool young kids who love Southwest and want to become pilots! Help them fulfill their dreams Lord.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

This is why for over I've never flown any other airline but Southwest, their beyond wonderful to multiple families! I recall flight attendants doing everything possible to get a little boy his teddy bear back so he could sleep well.

[@dascogames8013]

This was truly heartwarming... I'm 11.

[@GastricFN]

Proof that Southwest are the kindest airline ever.

[@Windows95-likes-old-tech]

Its wonderful to know Southwest Airlines cares for their fans like this.. wonderful

[@Blue_Line_Member]

Me seeing this kid extremely happy and excited, flying on 737s. Makes me happy that I get to fly with my airline. Hawaiian airlines, what he loves, is what I love. Me and him love different airlines, different planes, and different things. What a awesome aviation geek.

[@AMomentOfStuff]

When I’m a piglet one day I hope for passengers like River❤

[@MLXaviation]

Imagine having a birthday party like this!, even if it was 4 years ago i'm still surprised this little boy recived the party of his life!

[@jtgamer108]

Fuck my fear of heights. If im flying with any airliner company it's gonna be Southwest Airlines. Edit: i feel that kid's excitement on a spiritual level. My childhood memories of all my most exciting moments all came back at once. Southwest Airlines truly went above and beyond for this precious little soul to have the time of his life. Thank you for going out of your way for him SW-Airlines ❤

[@brodygriesemer]

my first flight was a Southwest flight when I was five. Ever since then, aviation has mesmerized me. I still have a little plane model of an old Southwest 737. While it has become beat-up over time, it still brings warm memories of my first time flying.

[@Landon_Bozzano]

This is me but when I was 3

[@kaisgaminglife]

He has a chance! As long as he never gives up on his dream! I was exactly like him at that age. Now i’m in flight lessons for flying commercially!

[@toyotaandlexussupercharged6699]

He is either going to be a pilot, mechanic or engineer may God bless him and his family.

[@Anonymous_Elite]

[@halimajackson8398]

[@xavierdaly5534]

In about ten years, instead of talking about airplanes in general, hes gonna be able to name what model the planes are, when the model was introduced, when the plane was shipped, the engine maker, details on the livery.... I can already hear him talking about it lol
