Airline gives passengers free Nintendo Switches

Passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight got more than a small bottle of water when they boarded their plane.

They received a Nintendo Switch system and a download code for the digital version of the “Super Mario Maker 2” game to enjoy as they traveled from Dallas to San Diego on Wednesday, July 17. Many of the passengers were headed to Comic-Con in the California city.

Mario was on hand to greet the passengers when the flight arrived.
