Southwest Airlines is partnering with the National Park Foundation to offer special giveaways on select flights and a free trip to Bozeman during Southwest’s Summer of Go Sweepstakes. 

The National Park Foundation is the charitable arm of the National Park Service. Southwest Rapid Rewards members can now donate their points to support the National Park Foundation through the Points for a Purpose program. 

Travelers flying on select flights from Denver to Bozeman and Denver to Fresno this week will enjoy a co-branded pop-up experience to celebrate the new partnership. This will include giveaway opportunities, including complimentary America the Beautiful passes, which are annual parks passes granting access to over 420 National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands. 

This week, Southwest’s Summer of Go Sweepstakes is offering a chance for customers to win a free trip to Bozeman, Montana, home to Yellowstone National Park.

The grand prize winner will enjoy free round trip air travel for two on Southwest Airlines, 5,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points, a two-night stay at The LARK, a three-day car rental from Budget Rent a Car and a $250 Visa gift card to use during the stay. The sweepstakes is offering a different free trip each week this summer. It launched in late June. 

"The National Park Foundation's focus on engaging people with America's national parks aligns with Southwest's legacy of making air travel affordable and giving people the freedom to fly," said Laura Nieto, Managing Director Corporate Responsibility at Southwest Airlines. "As Customers get away and visit national parks, Southwest connects them to these treasures with warm Hospitality and flexible policies, allowing Customers to pack all their hiking needs in one or two of their bags that fly free or see one more sunset by changing their flight without paying change fees."
