Our Customer Service Agents are the Heart of Southwest®.​
Our Customer Service Agents extend Hospitality to Southwest’s Customers at the ticket counter, baggage service office, skycaps, and gate area. Customer Service Agents are often the first Southwest Employee our Customers interact with during their travel experience and set a hospitable tone for our Customers’ trip. They’re friendly, patient problem solvers who enjoy multitasking and working in a dynamic, safe environment.
