How is that different from other airlines. I'm sure other airlines have cancelled flights as well.


I've never heard anyone say anything that bad about Southwest tbh. I just don't see how they can be any worse than the other airlines.

Also to those that fly SW regularly...since you can check bags for free...does that lessen the mad rush to get overhead space on the plane? Or seeing the amount of people trying to bring carry on bags way bigger than the standard carryon?

I dont really care for Southwest, but their boarding process definitely cuts down on gate lice, or really corrals it I guess.

People that fly regularly don't try to avoid checking bags because of the fee. 95% of the time that would be reimbursed by their company. They avoid checking bags because of the inconvenience and time it takes to wait once you get off the plane.


If you've never heard anything bad about southwest here is your first. They are shite

I don't know. I've only ever missed one flight and it happened to be a SW flight.

.

I fly Southwest all the time and find the friendliness of the employees outweighs any benefit of flying another airline. Everybody has their favorite, but I feel no need to change. Overhead bin space is available unless maybe you find yourself boarding with the C group. There is still a problem with dumbasses who put oversized bags in overhead bins. I consider them in the same category as the idiots who hover over the baggage carousel so you can't see what bags are coming out.
