In early 2004, Southwest restored and donated the nose section of a retired 737-200, aircraft registration number N102SW, to the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Dallas Love Field. These were also the airline's first 737-200 Advanced series aircraft, with aerodynamic enhancements and greater range than the original 737-200. After obtaining six aircraft in this manner, Southwest made its first all-new 737 order from Boeing for four aircraft in June 1976. These aircraft were not originally ordered by Southwest, but rather were delivery slots taken over from Air California, Aloha Airlines and Pacific Southwest Airlines, including a lone 737-200 Combi which was later traded with a VASP 737-200. Southwest Airlines began revenue flights on Jusing three Boeing 737-200 aircraft, and operated the type exclusively during the airline's early history.

These codes do not apply to recent aircraft types, including the 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 7. The Boeing customer code for Southwest Airlines is H4 for the Classic and Next Gen 737s. Southwest is the world's largest operator of the Boeing 737, and was the launch customer of the 737-300, 737-500, and 737-700. Since its inception, Southwest Airlines has almost exclusively operated Boeing 737 aircraft (except for a brief period when it operated a handful of leased Boeing 727-200 aircraft).
