shite…this is me. I got to the airport without first checking TD. I’m an idiot. Now I’ve got to kill two hours.

Last time I flew SWA they had drink tickets. That's back when they were better than the big carriers. Now they are just a crappy airline like all the rest.
Back when I was a teenager I was extra enthusiastic about their little bags of pretzels. I was just like wow I love these things thanks so much. The flight attendant disappeared and returned with a whole mega bag of the mini bags of pretzels and gave it to me. That would NEVER happen today on any airline do they even give wing pins out to little kids anymore?

I bet BNA wasn’t happy. Southwest has about 60% of the flights there. Pretty much their own terminal


I wish they did a $59 flight from MSY to BNA.

My very recent Southwest experience (but not related to this outage)

Flight boarding delayed for an hour (reason unknown)
Warning alarm after boarding and leaving the gate (couldn’t resolve and had to deplane and reboard another aircraft)
Missed connection due to delay
Rebooked on a later flight
Flight cancelled and rebooked for the next day
Had to pull checked bags and they were unable to locate for ~4 hours
Boarded the next day and finally made it to destination

Return flight:
Delayed for an hour (unknown reason)
Boarded and left the gate
Passenger demanded to get off plane (stated medical reason but refused treatment)
This delay caused the flight crew to max out on hours
Had to call for another flight crew which took another 4 hours
Caught the last connection of the day back to original airport.

Never again

Southwest used to be the premier airline. What happened?


This isn’t true. Their clout was a strong safety record and affordability
