Southwest Airlines just smashed Q2 earnings, posting record operating revenue and a 94-cent EPS—way above the 51-cent forecast—despite a $900M fuel cost spike. Ticket prices jumped 21% to $225.61 per passenger, fueled by strong domestic demand, even as fuel hit $4/gallon. But their Q3 outlook is more modest, expecting 50–75 cents EPS (vs. 82 cents expected). Still, they’ve raised full-year guidance to $3.25–$4.25 per share, beating analyst estimates. Business travel surged, and their Rapid Rewards program hit nearly 100 million members. Customer response to new policies—like ditching open seating—seems positive.
