The itinerary & receipt email Southwest sends after booking
Southwest does not print a separate ticket receipt. After you book, it emails an itinerary & receipt with the confirmation number, each passenger's ticket number, the flights and fare, and a payment section that breaks the total into base fare, U.S. Transportation Tax, the 9/11 Security Fee, the Flight Segment Tax and the Passenger Facility Charge. This Southwest Airlines receipt follows that email layout, with the reminders and legal text on page two.
