Rapid Rewards Freedom Story Pio Rongavilla t el e v i s i o n e xec u t i v e , l a s v eg a s Hand Set Portable is preferable for Frequent Flyers like Pio. 20 spirit june 2013 Some people fly for work; Pio Rongavilla flies to work. A resident of Las Vegas and a television executive in Santa Barbara, California, Pio commutes each week on Southwest Airlines. As a veteran of the television industry with more than 22 years of experience, Pio has had to move around a lot, maintaining his focus while dealing with all the bumps and bruises that a successful career requires. It’s a fast-paced environment, and Pio is blessed with the energy and charisma to keep up with it. He has sought Southwest’s reliable and convenient schedule for the last 15 years to get him to and from work. As an A-List Member of Southwest’s Rapid Rewards Frequent Flyer program, Pio LUVs how quickly and easily he can make travel plans using his points. He says, “I jump online, book my tickets for the month, and I’m done!” He can also make the most of his time when commuting to and from Santa Barbara (via Burbank) with onboard WiFi that allows him to get work done in the sky. Additionally, Pio appreciates Southwest’s Bags Fly Free policy and the flexibility of making flight changes without fees. But Pio has one more reason to LUV the Airline: He says that Southwest’s reliable flight schedule is one of the reasons he was able to meet his fiancée (who lives in Las Vegas) and maintain the relationship. They are excited to get married and continue their travels together. Pio says that he is “very fortunate” to be where he is and to do what he does—and Southwest likewise feels fortunate to have a Customer like Pio! —Katie Ellwood photography By danny turner
