Southwest Airlines is looking to cash in on Taylor Swift mania by adding flights for the hordes of fans traveling to see the pop star in concert as her Eras Tour returns to the U.S. this fall.
The budget carrier said Thursday it is adding flights to accommodate what is expected to be strong demand from so-called Swifties heading to her performances in Miami and New Orleans in October.
"Following strong demand from last year's US tour, the airline is adding more than 10 flights to its schedule to help Swifties get to and from her concerts,' the airline said in a statement to CBS News, noting that flights can be booked immediately.
