It's funny typing in very very old URLs to see where they go to and be amazed that companies are still paying for them.
Case in point: the initials "Las Vegas Reservation System" dot com (now Expedia), or Iflyswa dot com (still Southwest).

I still type in iflyswa dot com when I want to go their website. It's an easier type than southwest
✈️ Southwest Airlines took off online in 1995 with iflyswa.com, one of the early airline booking sites. The no-frills carrier helped shape modern air travel.

SWA factored themselves right out of consideration for my future flights. We've been locked in ever since ticket booklets and 1.800.IFLYSWA

I remember this!! They setup their domain name to match their 800 number IFLYSWA
Because, kids, that’s how we used to buy plane tix, over the phone.

We’ve been on the ground for exactly 49 hours and we’re going again. We’re onboard @southwestair FL743, nonstop from KSEA to KDEN then on to KMCO (Orlando, FL) so yours truly can run the @rundisney WDW marathon on Sunday. Yikes! #aviation #airtravel #iflyswa #rundisney #wdwmarathon #runnerdude

First flight of 2025, we’re onboard @southwestair FL869, departing KOAK at 5:35a, on our way home to KSEA. Bleary eyed and happy to be here. #aviation #airtravel #iflyswa

Here we go, on my way to Salt Lake City for #thanksgiving with the family, hosted by my sister @eileen_g_turnipseed.
@southwestair is going to let me go to KDEN first (FL743) then back to KSLC (FL469). Building miles during a holiday travel week. What could go wrong? 🤣

*I forget who they bought southwest[.]com from. Someone else owned it originally IIRC, which is why they had the iflyswa address (which also was/is the 800 number to get to reservations).

Including the original iflyswa[.]com URL!
Which still works, BTW. I forget who they had to buy it from, though.

Southwest's website in 1996. Back when we were just beginning to push the limits of web design.

re: @SouthwestAir - how they can charge for Early Bird Checkin and I'm still in the back half of passengers? Employees said I should call 1-800-IFLYSWA but all of their solutions require I spend more $. Looks like I get to chew my kneecaps for 4 hours in the middle seat.
