Southwest Airlines, partner of the Phoenix Suns as the franchise’s Official Airline, invited Suns players and staff to “trade places” with Southwest Airlines employees to help players both better appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes, but also to delight passengers with a surprise visit moments before they embark on their collective journey’s.
Suns players Dragan Bender, Tyson Chandler, Marquese Chriss, Jared Dudley and Tyler Ulis, Head Coach Jay Triano, Suns alumni Tom Chambers and Steven Hunter, and The Gorilla each assisted Southwest Airlines employees as they went about their important daily routines getting passengers to their correct planes and ultimate destinations safely and efficiently.
