Use PayPal With SouthWest Airlines Too

UATP, the airline-owned global corporate travel payment network, is helping to enable PayPal payments for online airline ticket purchases and has successfully launched PayPal payment for Southwest Airlines.

Through the UATP network of over 220 airlines around the globe, PayPal is able to use the network to connect to the airlines and process payments.

To make the payment customers have to choose PayPal as the payment method and conduct a standard PayPal transaction. Airlines will process the payment like a UATP transaction through the existing network. via CNN
