      Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                
      1.    Basis  of  presentation - The accompanying  unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance  with  generally  accepted accounting  principles  for
interim  financial information and with the instructions to  Form
10-Q  and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do  not
include  all  of  the  information  and  footnotes  required   by
generally  accepted accounting principles for complete  financial
statements.     The  condensed consolidated financial  statements
for  the interim periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 include all
adjustments  (which  include only normal  recurring  adjustments)
which  are,  in the opinion of management, necessary for  a  fair
presentation  of the results for the interim periods.   Operating
results  for the three and six month periods ended June 30,  1995
are  not  necessarily  indicative of  the  results  that  may  be
expected  for  the  year ended December 31,  1995.   For  further
information,  refer to the consolidated financial statements  and
footnotes  thereto included in the Southwest Airlines Co.  annual
report on Form 10-K for  the year ended December 31, 1994.

dividends  of $.01 were declared on the 143,648,993, 143,411,223,
143,042,383   and  142,856,850  shares  of  common   stock   then
outstanding, respectively.

      3.    Long-term debt - During March 1995, the Company issued
$100  million  of  8%  senior unsecured  notes  due  March  2005.

September 1, commencing September 1, 1995.  The Notes may not  be
redeemed prior to maturity.

      4.    Leases - During and subsequent to the end  of  second
quarter 1995, the Company completed transactions for the sale and
leaseback  of  six and two new Boeing 737 aircraft, respectively.
The  lease  terms, which require periodic lease payments  through
2019, increased the Company's commitments for operating leases by
$485 million.

      5.    Reclassifications - Certain prior year  amounts  have
been reclassified for comparison purposes.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

      Consolidated net income for the three months ended  June 30,
1995  was  $59.7  million ($.41 per share)  compared  with  $58.5
million ($.40 per share) earned in second quarter 1994.

      Consolidated operating revenues increased 11.7 percent  for
the  second  quarter of 1995 and 6.1 percent for the  six  months
ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the corresponding periods  of
the  prior year, primarily as a result of an 11.3 percent and 5.8
percent   increase,   respectively,  in  consolidated   passenger
revenues.  The increase in passenger revenues resulted from a 9.9
percent  and  6.7  percent  increase in revenue  passenger  miles
(RPMs)  for the three and six month periods ended June 30,  1995,
respectively.

      Available seat miles (ASMs) increased 14.5 percent and 13.8
percent  in  second quarter 1995 and the six month  period  ended
June  30, 1995, respectively, resulting in load factors  of  67.1
percent  and 64.2 percent for these same periods.  The  passenger
revenue  yield  per RPM increased 1.3 percent to $.1185  for  the
three  months  ended June 30, 1995 and decreased  .8  percent  to
$.1167 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

      The  second quarter 1995 load factor and revenue yield  per
RPM were considerably stronger than first quarter 1995 results of
61.1 percent and $.1146, respectively.  This improved performance
is  primarily  due to the resolution of fourth quarter  1994  and
first  quarter 1995 reservation system capacity issues, increased
fares, enhanced revenue management, and continued development  of
our new markets.  While revenue yield rebounded in second quarter
1995, and positive comparisons are expected for third quarter 1995,
load factor continues to lag behind last year. However, year over
year  load factor comparisons should continue to improve  in  the
third  quarter,  based on current traffic trends  and  aggressive
adjustments made to our schedule in late second quarter  1995  to
eliminate  certain unproductive weekend flights.   Non-fuel  unit
cost comparisons will be negatively impacted by  these  schedule
changes and will, most likely, be higher than year-ago unit costs
by as much as two percent, due to lower aircraft utilization.

      Consolidated freight revenues increased 21.9 percent in the
second quarter of 1995 and 19.2 percent for the six months  ended
June  30, 1995 as compared to the same periods of the prior year,
primarily  due  to increased capacity.  Other revenues  increased
19.8  percent in the second quarter 1995 and 8.4 percent for  the
six months ended June 30, 1995, primarily due to increased charter
and inflight service revenues.

      Operating  expenses per ASM decreased 1.0 percent  for  the
three  months and 1.8 percent for the six months ended  June  30,
1995 as follows:

      Salaries,  wages, and benefits per ASM were  flat  for  the
three  months ended June 30, 1995 and increased 3.3  percent  for
the  six  months  ended  June 30, 1995  compared  to  prior  year
periods.    These  year  over  year  comparisons  are  negatively
impacted  primarily  by  first half 1994 increases  in  headcount
necessary  to transition Morris Air operational functions,  which
in   some  instances  were  performed  by  outside  vendors,   to
Southwest.

      Fleet service employees are subject to an agreement with the
Ramp,  Operations  and  Provisioning  Association,  which  became
amendable in December 1994 and is currently in negotiation.

      Profitsharing  and Employee savings plans expense  per  ASM
decreased  3.4 percent and 23.1 percent for the three months  and
six  months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the
corresponding periods of the prior year primarily  due  to  lower
operating income per ASM.

      Fuel and oil expense per ASM increased 6.4 percent and
2.1  percent in second quarter 1995 and the six month period then
ended  due to higher jet fuel prices.  The average price paid for
fuel in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995
increased  6.2  percent and 2.3 percent, respectively,  over  the
corresponding  periods in 1994.  Since the end of second  quarter
1995, fuel prices have averaged approximately $.53 per gallon.

      Maintenance  materials and repairs per  ASM  increased  5.4
percent  in  second  quarter 1995 as compared to  the  respective
period  of  1994 primarily as a result of performing more  engine
overhauls during second quarter 1995.

      Agency commissions per ASM decreased by 22.2 percent for the
three  month  and  six  month periods ended  June  30,  1995,  as
compared  to  the corresponding periods of 1994. As a  result  of
1994  and  first quarter 1995 enhancements to Southwest's  ticket
delivery  systems for direct Customers, as described  below,  the
travel  agency sales mix decreased from approximately 55  percent
of  total passenger sales in second quarter 1994 to 45 percent in
second quarter 1995.  The Company expects to maintain this travel
agency sales mix in third quarter 1995.

      In  response  to  actions  taken  by  our  competitor-owned
reservations systems, we reduced our operating costs and enhanced
our  ticket  delivery  systems by developing  our  own  Southwest
Airlines Air Travel ("SWAT") system, allowing high-volume  travel
agents direct access to reservations; introduced overnight ticket
delivery  for  travel  agents; reduced to  three  the  number  of
advanced  days  reservations required for overnight  delivery  of
tickets  to  customers  (Ticket  By  Mail);  developed  our   own
Ticketless  system, which was rolled out system-wide  on  January
31, 1995; and effective March 30, 1995, subscribed to a new level
of  service  with  SABRE  that allows SABRE  travel  agencies  to
electronically   pursue   other  cost-effective   solutions   for
automating non-SABRE travel agency bookings.

      Aircraft  rentals per ASM increased 17.5 percent  and  15.0
percent for the three month and six month periods ended June  30,
1995,  compared  to  the  corresponding  periods  of  1994.   The
increase was primarily due to the sale/leaseback financing of six
aircraft with long-term operating leases during April 1995 and  a
higher   percentage   of   the  fleet  being   leased   aircraft.

      Other operating expenses per ASM decreased 6.0 percent  and
6.2   percent for the three and six month periods ended June  30,
1995,  respectively.   These  decreases  were  primarily  due  to
operating  efficiencies resulting from the transition  of  Morris
operational  functions  to  Southwest, commencing  first  quarter
1994.

     Other expenses (income) for the three months and six months
ended  June 30, 1995 included interest expense, interest  income,
and nonoperating gains and losses.  Interest expense increased in
the  first half of 1995 as compared to the first half of 1994 due
to  the  March 1995 issuance of $100 million of 8 percent  senior
unsecured  Notes due March 2005.  Capitalized interest  increased
for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995  as
a  result of increased aircraft progress payments as compared  to
the  same  periods of the prior year.  Interest income  increased
for  the  three and six months ended June 30, 1995 due to  higher
invested cash balances and higher short-term interest rates.  

Material Changes in Financial Condition

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $193.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  During April 1995, the
Company generated $191.7 million from the sale/leaseback  of  six
Boeing  737  aircraft.  During the twelve months ended  June  30,
1995, cash of $458.7 million was provided from operations.   This
cash  was primarily used to finance aircraft-related expenditures
and provide working capital.

     For  the  twelve  months ended June 30, 1995,  net  capital
expenditures were $773.5 million, which were primarily  used  for
the  purchase of 17 new and one used 737-300 aircraft, which  had
been  previously  leased  by Morris, and  progress  payments  for
future aircraft deliveries.

     As of June 30, 1995, the Company had authority by its Board
of  Directors  to purchase 3,750,000 shares of its  common  stock
from  time  to  time  on the open market.  No  shares  have  been
purchased pursuant to this authority since 1990.

     The Company's contractual commitments at June 30, 1995 consist
primarily of scheduled  aircraft acquisitions. Sixteen 737-300s are
scheduled for  delivery  in the remainder of 1995, 18 in 1996, and
10 in 1997.  Four  737-700s are scheduled for delivery in 1997, 16
in 1998,  16 in 1999, 15 in 2000, and 12 in 2001.  In addition,  the
Company has options to purchase up to eleven 737-300s in 1997 and
up to sixty-three 737-700s during 1998-2004.  The Company has the
option, which must be exercised two years prior to the contractual
delivery  date, to substitute 737-400s or 737-500s for  the  737-
300s to be delivered during 1997 and 737-600s or 737-800s for the
737-700s delivered subsequent to 1999.  In July 1995, the Company
exercised an option to purchase three 737-300s to be  delivered
in   1997.   Aggregate  funding  needed  for  these  commitments,
including  the  three  1997  option  aircraft,  is  approximately
$2,886.7 million at June 30, 1995 due as follows: $371.1  million
in  1995; $506.3 million in 1996; $506.5 million in 1997;  $445.4
million in 1998; $452.9 million in 1999; $366.0 million in  2000;
and $238.5 million in 2001.

     The  Company  has  various options available  to  meet  its
capital and operating commitments, including cash on hand at June
30,  1995  of  $400.9  million, $64 million from  the  July  1995
sale/leaseback  of two new 737-300 aircraft, and a  $460  million
revolving  credit  line with a group of banks. In  addition,  the
Company will also consider various external financing options  to
maximize  earnings and cash flows and maintain a  strong  capital
structure.

                                
                   PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          The Company has received examination reports from
          the   Internal   Revenue  Service   proposing   certain
          adjustments to Southwest's income tax returns for  1987
          through 1991.  The adjustments relate to certain  types
          of  aircraft  financings consummated by  Southwest,  as
          well  as other members of the aviation industry, during
          that  time  period.   Southwest intends  to  vigorously
          protest  the  adjustments made with which it  does  not
          agree.  The industry's difference with the IRS involves
          complex issues of law and fact which are likely to take
          a  substantial  period of time to resolve.   Management
          believes that final resolution of such protest will not
          have  a  materially adverse effect upon the results  of
          operations of Southwest.

          requesting that  the  Board  of  Directors  commit
          Southwest  to  the  goal of creating a  "high-performance
          workplace",  13,539,321 shares  were  voted  for  the
          proposal, 6,227,637 abstained, and there were 28,817,321
