As the Representatives of the several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Southwest Airlines Co., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are acting as representatives (“you” or “Representatives”), 70,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 (the “Firm Shares”). The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional 10,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 (the “Additional Shares”) if and to the extent that the Representatives shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of common stock granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The shares of common stock, par value $1.00, of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.”

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Shares as soon as the Underwriters deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-222963), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, which registration statement automatically became effective upon filing on February 9, 2018. Such registration statement covers the registration of securities of the Company, including the Shares, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “1933 Act Regulations”) under the 1933 Act. Such registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the 1933 Act and the documents incorporated therein pursuant to Part I, Item 12 of Form S-3 as of its most recent effective date, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the related base prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of the Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the 1933 Act), including the documents incorporated therein pursuant to Part I, Item 12 of Form S-3 as of such date, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus.” The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Shares in the form first used to confirm sales of the Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the 1933 Act), including the documents incorporated therein pursuant to Part I, Item 12 of Form S-3 as of such date of such prospectus or prospectus supplement, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,” and the term “preliminary prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus.

For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

1. Representations and Warranties. (a) The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof and agrees with each Underwriter that:

(i) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Prospectus; the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where those failures to so qualify, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole or the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and none of the subsidiaries of the Company is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X).

(ii) The Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) eligible to use the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement and the Company has not received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. At the time of first filing of the Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Shares and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations in connection with the offering pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Registration Statement has become effective; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened by the Commission and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

At the respective times the first filing of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Time (as defined below), the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, as of its date, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b), and at the Closing Time, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the first filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations (after taking into account the information permitted to be omitted pursuant to Rules 430B and 430C of the 1933 Act Regulations, as applicable) and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the 1933 Act Regulations has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the 1933 Act Regulations or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. Except for the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, and Company Additional Written Communications, if any, identified in Schedule IV, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without your prior consent, prepare, use or refer to, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as Morgan Stanley may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

3. Delivery and Payment. (a) Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made by wire transfer to such bank account in the United States as the Company may designate to you. The closing of the offering of the Firm Shares shall occur at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3900, Dallas, Texas 75201, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company, at 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the second business day (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10) following the date hereof or at such other date, time or location as otherwise shall be agreed upon by you and the Company (such time being referred to as the “Closing Time” and such date being referred to as the “Closing Date”).

Payment for any Additional Shares shall be made by wire transfer to such bank account in the United States as the Company may designate to you. The closing of the offering of the Additional Shares shall occur at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3900, Dallas, Texas 75201, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company, at 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the Option Closing Date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other date, time or location as otherwise shall be agreed upon by you and the Company.

The Firm Shares and Additional Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representatives shall request not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be. The Firm Shares and Additional Shares shall be delivered to the Representatives on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Shares to the Underwriters duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

(b) It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized you, on its behalf and for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the Purchase Price for, the Shares that it has agreed to purchase. You, individually and not as a representative, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the Purchase Price for the Shares to be purchased by any Underwriter whose check or checks shall not have been received by the Closing Time.

4. Offering by Underwriters. The Company is advised by the Representatives that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as soon after this Agreement has become effective as in the Representatives’ judgment is advisable and initially to offer the Shares on the terms set forth in the Prospectus.

5. Agreements. The Company covenants with each Underwriter that:

(a) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement and subject to paragraph (c) below, the Company will cause the Prospectus containing the information omitted in reliance upon Rule 430B, and any supplement thereto, to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will furnish to the Underwriters named therein as many copies of the Prospectus as you shall reasonably request.

(b) The Company will notify you immediately (i) of the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) of the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document to be filed pursuant to the 1934 Act that will be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (iii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or

supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or for additional information, (v) of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement, (vi) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Shares, and (vii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as possible. The Company will file the Final Term Sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act within the time required by such Rule and will file promptly all other material required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act.

(c) For so long as a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with the Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), the Company will give you notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, whether by the filing of documents pursuant to the 1934 Act, the 1933 Act, or otherwise, and will furnish you with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed or prepared a reasonable time in advance of such proposed filing or preparation, as the case may be.

(d) The Company will deliver to you as many signed and conformed copies of the Registration Statement (as originally filed) and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus) as you may reasonably request. The Company will furnish to you as many copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as you shall reasonably request, so long as you are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales or solicitations of offers to purchase the Shares.

(e) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the General Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the General Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) subject to paragraph (c) above, amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(f) If at any time when the Prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172) any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to further amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary at any such time to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission such amendment or supplement, whether by filing documents pursuant to the 1934 Act, the 1933 Act, or otherwise, as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements. If at any time when the Prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172) there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Shares or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify you and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(g) With respect to the sale of the Shares, the Company will make generally available to its security holders earning statements (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act), which will satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(h) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with you, to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate, and will maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be required for the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or to subject itself to taxation as doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise required to be so qualified or subject itself to ongoing securities or corporate law reporting requirements in the jurisdiction. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Shares have been qualified as provided above.

(i) The Company covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period ending 60 days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Restricted Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, other than (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) the notes issued in the concurrent registered public offering of Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 pursuant to the prospectus supplement of the Company dated April 28, 2020 and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such notes, (C) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the settlement or conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof as described in each of the General Disclosure Package and Prospectus, (D) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to any employee stock option plan, incentive plan or stock ownership plan of the Company that the Board of Directors of the Company has approved (including, but not limited to, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan) in effect on the date hereof, (E) the issuance of warrants or other equity-based consideration by the Company as required by or a part of any assistance that the Company has received, applies for or will receive under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the issuance of Common Stock by the Company upon the exercise or conversion of any such warrants or other equity-based consideration, and the filing of one or more resale registration statements with respect to such warrants, other equity-based compensation, and Common Stock in compliance with the requirements of such assistance, or (F) facilitating the establishment of a trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period.

(j) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433, other than a free writing prospectus containing the information contained in the Final Term Sheet; provided, however, that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of Underwriters. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will be subject at all times to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein as of the date hereof, as of the date of the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement filed after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date (including the filing of any document incorporated therein by reference), as of the Applicable Time, as of the

(f) At the Closing Time, the Underwriters shall have received a letter, dated as of Closing Date, from the Company’s independent public accountants to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than three business days prior to Closing Time.

(ii) any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review, in each case for possible change, its ratings of any such securities (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating).

(h) At the Closing Time, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as such counsel may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling such counsel to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Shares as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained.

(i) The “lock-up” agreements, each substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, between the Representatives and officers and directors of the Company relating to restrictions on sales and certain other dispositions of shares of Common Stock or certain other securities, delivered to the Representatives on or before the date hereof, shall be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

8. Indemnification and Contribution; Default of Underwriters.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act), its selling agent and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereof) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Base Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus relating to the Shares, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act Regulations, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the 1933 Act Regulations or the Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement thereto), any Company Additional Written Communication or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except in each case insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Representatives expressly for inclusion in any such document (“Underwriter Information”). The Company hereby acknowledges that for purposes of this Agreement,

the only Underwriter Information furnished shall be the information in the third paragraph under the heading “Underwriting,” the information in the first and second sentences of the first paragraph under the heading “Underwriting—Price Stabilization and Short Positions” and the information in the second paragraph under the heading “Underwriting—Price Stabilization and Short Positions,” in each case contained in the Prospectus.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of the officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter but only with reference to the Underwriter Information provided by such Underwriter.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall, and the indemnifying party may elect to, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel as required by the prior sentence to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The firm chosen to represent the indemnified parties shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested in writing an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is required to be made but is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the applicable indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of such Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the proceeds from the

offering of such Shares received by the Company (before deducting expenses) less total underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters by the Company, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of such Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or information supplied by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

9. Default by an Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Shares hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, you may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Shares by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default or defaults occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for purchase of such Firm Shares by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 7 and 8 hereof. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default or defaults occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Time (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, either the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, (b) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, (d) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities shall have occurred in which the United

States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any substantial national or international calamity or emergency shall occur and the effect of which is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus or (e) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such) as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. In the event of any such termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 8 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 11 through 15 hereof shall remain in effect.

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive.

If for any reason the purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 7 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the occurrence of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or 10, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of such Shares and comply with its other obligations under Section 7.

1. Southwest has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, with corporate power to own, lease, and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus; Southwest is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in the United States in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4. The execution, delivery, and performance by Southwest of the Underwriting Agreement, and the consummation by Southwest of the transactions contemplated by such document, will not result in any violation of the provisions of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, or operative agreement of Southwest or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, or to my knowledge, any applicable law, administrative regulation, or any order or decree of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency that is binding upon Southwest or its subsidiaries, or their respective properties, nor does any such action, to my knowledge, constitute a breach of, or default under, or (except as contemplated therein) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of Southwest or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease, or other instrument to which Southwest or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which such entity is bound or to which any of the assets of Southwest or its subsidiaries is subject.

The execution and delivery by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The Shares have been duly authorized by the Company for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and, when the Shares are issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Shares will have been validly issued and delivered by the Company and fully paid and nonassessable, and conform to the descriptions of such Shares as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in all material respects.

2. The statements in each of the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Capital Stock,” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” insofar as such statements purport to summarize legal matters or provisions of documents referred to therein, present fair summaries of such legal matters and documents in all material respects.

3. The issuance and sale of the Shares to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the valid authorization, execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement do not require the Company to obtain or effect any consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental agency or body of the United States or the State of Texas, except (i) for the registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, (ii) periodic and other reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and the 1934 Act Regulations, (iii) as may be required under state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (iv) under the Warrant Agreement by and between the Company and the United States Department of the Treasury, dated April 20, 2020.

4. The Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act and, to our knowledge, (i) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and (ii) no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

5. Without independent check or verification of the statements contained therein, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included therein, or omitted therefrom, as to which we are not expressing an opinion), in each case excluding the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein, as of their respective effective or issue dates, appear on their face to have complied as to form in all material respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act.

6. Each document filed by the Company pursuant to the 1934 Act and incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus (other than the exhibits thereto, the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included therein, or incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference, or omitted therefrom, as to which we are not expressing an opinion), when so filed with the Commission, appeared on its face to have complied as to form in all material respects to the requirements of the 1934 Act.

7. The Company is not, and, solely after giving effect to the offer and sale of the Shares and the application of the net proceeds from such sale as described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus, will not be, required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

8. The holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not entitled to any preemptive rights under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to subscribe for the Shares.

Exhibit B-1

10. In the course of the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, we have participated in conferences with officers and certain representatives of the Company, in-house attorneys for the Company, representatives of the registered public accountants for the Company, representatives of the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although we have not independently verified, are not passing upon, and are not assuming any responsibility for, or express any opinion regarding, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraph 2 of our opinion of even date herewith and delivered to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement), on the basis of the foregoing, in the course of acting as counsel to the Company in this transaction, no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement (other than the exhibits thereto, the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included therein, or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein, or omitted therefrom), at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included therein, or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein, or omitted therefrom), as of its date contained, or as of the date hereof contains, any untrue statement of a material fact or, as of its date omitted, or as of the date hereof omits, to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the General Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included therein, or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein, or omitted therefrom), as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Representatives”) propose to enter into (i) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Equity Underwriting Agreement”) with Southwest Airlines Co., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Equity Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including the Representatives (the “Underwriters”), of shares of common stock, par value $1.00, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Convertible Notes Underwriting Agreement”, and together with the Equity Underwriting Agreement, the “Underwriting Agreements”) with the Company, providing for the public offering (the “Convertible Notes Offering”, and together with the Equity Public Offering, the “Public Offerings”) by the Underwriters of Convertible Senior Notes of the Company (the “Convertible Notes, and together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”).

LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 30 days after the date of the final prospectuses (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offerings (the “Prospectuses”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Securities beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Securities or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offerings, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock as a bona fide gift or gifts; (c) dispositions of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock by qualified domestic relations order, will or other testamentary document or by intestacy, provided that any public report or filing shall clearly indicate in footnotes the reason for such transfer; (d) transfers of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to, from or between any one or more trusts, family limited partnerships, or other estate planning vehicles for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for the purposes of this letter, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), and (e) distributions of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to

Exhibit C-1

limited partners, members, stockholders or trust beneficiaries of the undersigned or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; provided that (i) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b), (c), (d) or (e), each donee, transferee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement, (ii) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b) or (d), no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, and (iii) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (e), any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in footnotes the reason for such transfer or distribution, and no such filing shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period; (f) the exercise or settlement of equity-based compensation awards of the Company granted under any stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan described (including through incorporation by reference) in the Prospectuses filed in connection with the Public Offerings, including the withholding of shares to satisfy exercise price, tax withholding obligations or both, provided that the net underlying shares issued thereunder shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer to the Company set forth in this letter, and provided further, that any public report or filing shall clearly indicate in footnotes the reason for such transfer and that no public filings or reports would be made voluntarily during the Restricted Period; or (g) facilitating the establishment of a trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offerings. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Public Offerings actually occur depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters. If for any reason the Underwriting Agreements shall be signed and then terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in each of the Underwriting Agreements), the agreement set forth above shall likewise be terminated, and the agreement set forth above shall automatically terminate if the Underwriting Agreements have not been entered into between the Representatives and the Company prior to May 31, 2020.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Very truly yours,

Name:
