Photo kiosks to help Southwest passengers celebrate holidays

November 1, 2011

Windows Travelers of Southwest Airlines can stop by a Windows photo kiosk located throughout gates across the nation starting Dec. 13 to take holiday photos with Santa or in front of a holiday-themed backdrop.

Once the photos are taken, a Windows representative will guide travelers through an online experience to demonstrate how to edit, share and store their photos with ease, using Windows Live photo-editing tools. Families will be able to print a copy of their photo on site at the airport via Epson printers, or they can visit http://www.freeholidayphotos.com to retrieve and share their photos online.

"We heard from our customers how much they loved this experience last year, and we are thrilled to be able to offer it again in partnership with Microsoft this holiday season," said Andy Allmann, director of national partnerships for Southwest Airlines. "By providing free holiday photos, Windows and Southwest are celebrating simple things that make this time of year so special — spending time with family, connecting with friends and sharing good cheer."

The two companies are also hosting a holiday sweepstakes for a daily chance to win a Windows 7-based PC or the grand prize of a year of travel on Southwest Airlines. Other holiday offers and incentives also will be available.
