Southwest Airlines provides travel itineraries with confirmation numbers to all travelers who purchase airfare with Southwest. Once you book your travel, you will receive an email from Southwest confirming your travel itinerary. Before your flight, you will need to access your travel itinerary for check-in purposes or to make changes to your reservation. For this you will need your confirmation number. If you do not have your confirmation number, look it up with the help of Southwest's website.
