Southwest usually has good deals when traveling from SF to Chicago (MDW). Having that directly wthin Google Flights is pretty handy!

I wonder how Southwest feels about this? Must be a reason they're not shown in Google Flights today.

Southwest doesn't like the apples:oranges comparison of them vs other airlines / sorting primarily on price like most online travel sites do. This is because they offer other amenities that are not common for airlines, like 2 free checked bags & no cancellation/change fees.

We reflect these effectively and basically give them a big ad on the top of Google Flights so I'm hoping SW will be OK with it :)
