Travelers check in at the Southwest Airlines counter as the Thanksgiving Day holiday approaches Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021, at Denver International Airport in Denver. Southwest Airlines says travel was strong over Thanksgiving and that momentum is carrying into December. The airline said Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021 that as a result, it’s offering a better forecast for fourth-quarter revenue — although the current quarter will still be weaker than the same period in 2019, before the pandemic hit.
