A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, registration N565WN performing flight WN-2150 from Houston Hobby,TX to Columbus,OH (USA) with 116 people on board, was descending towards Columbus when the crew advised of a flight control problem, the flaps didn't come down so that they would need to do a flaps up landing at 170 KIAS. The crew requested an extended downwind to complete checklists, then positioned for an approach to runway 28L and landed at a higher speed than normal. Emergency services checked the aircraft before the aircraft taxied to the apron.

A passenger reported they were told the aircraft needed to do a high speed landing due to flaps problems.
