The Mommy Blogger takes flight

Friday, 8 May 20093 min read

In honor of Mother’s Day, Southwest Airlines is introducing its mommy blogger, Jessica Turner, and launching a campaign called My Peanut and I Fly Southwest. To celebrate the launch, Southwest Airlines also is giving away one family four-pack of airline tickets to any destination the airline serves.

Southwest Airlines has created a variety of My Peanut and I Fly Southwest online buttons for moms and dads who fly with their kids. Parents who post the online button on their blog, Facebook profile, and/or other social media sites are eligible to win the prize pack.

"At Southwest, we love families and blogging, so inviting Jessica to be our mommy blogger made perfect sense for our Company," said Paula Berg, Manager of Emerging Media. "The My Peanut and I Fly Southwest button is a fun way for bloggers and social media participants to show their Southwest support – and maybe even win a great vacation package."

"I’ve always called my son, Elias, a little peanut, so I’m very excited about this campaign," said Southwest Mommy blogger Jessica Turner. "I am proud to represent parents across America who fly Southwest with their kids. The online button is such an easy way for parents like me to show our love for travel and Southwest."

The My Peanut and I Fly Southwest buttons are available on the Nuts About Southwest blog. For a chance to win a family four-pack of airline tickets, simply post a My Peanut and I Fly Southwest button somewhere online, then leave a comment on the May 8 Nuts About Southwest blog post about the buttons. Be sure to include a link to where you posted the button. If you post the button on multiple sites (ie: your blog and Facebook page), please leave one comment for each link. This contest ends May 31, 2009.
