# Southwest Airlines Search

Search southwest.com via Patchright (undetected Playwright fork). Southwest is the only major US airline not in any GDS, API, or flight search tool. This skill is the only way to get SW-specific data: fare classes, points pricing, and Companion Pass qualification.

**Requires Patchright** (undetected Playwright fork). Standard Playwright and agent-browser are detected and blocked by SW. Patchright patches the browser fingerprint to bypass detection.

**Must run headed (headless=False).** SW detects headless browsers even with Patchright. On macOS, a Chrome window briefly appears and closes. For background operation with no popup, use Docker:

```bash
# Search new flights (default, no login needed)
docker run --rm ghcr.io/borski/sw-fares --origin SJC --dest DEN --depart 2026-05-15
docker run --rm ghcr.io/borski/sw-fares --origin SJC --dest DEN --depart 2026-05-15 --return 2026-05-18 --points --json

# Check existing reservation for price drops (requires SW login)
