Southwest Airlines is switching over to their new reservations system on Tuesday, May 9 known as One Res and to celebrate, they will be offering all customers a free drink if flying tomorrow to kick off this new milestone for the airline.

Customers shouldn’t see much of a difference in the booking process, as the changes are more on the back-end including the ability to better forecast flights, which is one of the reasons Southwest will no longer oversell flights, and allows the ability to add red-eye flights in the future. The new reservations system will accept foreign currency as well.
