From assigned seats to red-eye flights<\/a>, it’s a time of big changes at Southwest Airlines \u2014 and this week has brought another.<\/p>\n

Travel search site Kayak now displays Southwest fares, the company announced Monday. This allows users to compare prices and itinerary options directly with those of other airlines.<\/p>\n

It’s a major shift. Historically, Southwest has not allowed third-party companies to display its schedule and fare data.<\/p>\n

That has started to change in recent months, though.<\/p>\n

In May, TPG reported<\/a> Southwest fares began displaying on Google Flights<\/a>, boosting flight comparison options for users.<\/p>\n

And on Monday, Kayak joined the short list of companies that can display Southwest’s data.<\/p>\n

A quick flight search confirms the change: You can see Southwest options pop up in search results for an October flight from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to Southwest hub Baltimore\/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). It includes both the carrier’s Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares.<\/p>\n
