Sparks fly, rumors fly and so do Swifties.

Southwest Airlines is offering additional flights to support fans trying to see Taylor Swift when the Eras Tour returns to the U.S. this fall.

"Southwest is excited to welcome Swifties and looks forward to celebrating with them as they hit the road to see one of the most successful female artists of all time!" the budget carrier wrote in a news release this week.

The star is set to bring her record-breaking tour to Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on Oct. 18, 19, and 20 and to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Oct. 25, 26 and 27.

Flight numbers are Taylor Swift-themed

Swifties will be quick to catch the meaning behind some of the Southwest flight numbers.

On Oct. 17 the airline will offer Flight Number 22 from Baltimore/Washington airport to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood and Flight 1989 from Nashville to Miami.

On Oct. 20, fans can fly aboard Flight 1313 from Miami to Nashville or Flight 1213 from Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood to Baltimore/Washington.

Other Swiftie flights include:

  • Oct. 24: Flights from New Orleans to Austin and Baltimore/Washington.

  • Oct. 25: Flights from Dallas (Love), and San Antonio to New Orleans.

  • Oct. 27: Flights to Baltimore/Washington, Dallas (Love), San Antonio and New Orleans.

Eras Tour to conclude in December

As Swift's tour returns to the U.S. in October, it gets closer to its conclusion.

At the 100th Eras show in Liverpool on June 13, the star announced that the tour will end in December. During her "All Too Well" speech before the 10-minute song, she thanked fans for their level of dedication to attending the shows.

"You've made plans so far in advance. You planned what you were going to wear. You memorized lyrics. You got yourself here. You figured out parking. You figured out transportation," Swift said. "Just know I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you put in to be with us when this show reaches triple digits in shows. So thank you!"
