On Monday, Southwest Airlines announced that customers would be able to transfer rewards between its Rapid Rewards and AirTran Airways' A+ Rewards programs.
The Dallas-based carrier said the two loyalty programs will remain separate for now as it is in the process of integrating AirTran. Southwest purchased AirTran last year.
"Members of both programs have been asking for this ability, and we know they will enjoy using their loyalty rewards to travel to even more destinations," said Kevin Krone, Southwest vice president of marketing, sales and distribution.
Here's the conversion chart:
