I love flying with Southwest overall. The ease they make traveling is a big draw. Their stewards/stewardesses infuse humor into every aspect of the flight. Their overall attitude is the best and is very important in managing everyone's moods. Especially on packed flights, where everyone is stressed and grumpy. The singing that they do is fun, and I love when they are dressed for holidays. A little bit of laughter helps with the stressful aspects of travel. I'm not a big fan of the no assigned seating though. I like to know that everyone traveling with me will be able to sit together. Their snacks are small and not very filling and I would like more of a selection and a bit more quantity would be great.

Boarding procedures without specific seating assignments seem to make the boarding and unboarding processes quicker. I've never had any issues with lost luggage or missed connections when flying with Southwest, too. Also, polite aircrew, preferred direct flight options, and on-time arrivals.

Tickets were affordable and the seats were comfortable enough but could use more leg room. Overall happy but Southwest definitely left some room for improvement in their customer service department. Employees weren't friendly enough and my flight had multiple layovers due to no direct flights to my destination. I dislike the long lines and it took way too long to get on the flight and takeoff.
Reviewed May 30, 2017
I was traveling by myself and usually take my own food so Southwest suits my needs. Boarding went fast, almost too fast, and I had no problems. When I was transferring from another flight it look like I was too late but it was fine. Myself and a few others boarded easily so it was nice that most of the plane was boarded early and we took off on time. Also, the people were very friendly. No muss, no fuss. For traveling alone it is great but I do not know if I would like to travel with my whole family on Southwest. It appeared to me that there are problems getting seats together. We separated by twos and then it was much easier.

Southwest customer service is generally very good for the price of the airline tickets. The travel itself is fine but in-flight entertainment (wifi, movies, etc.) is extremely overpriced and overall lacking. Whenever I fly southwest I know that I will not purchase in flight wifi or other such accommodation for my traveling experience. All the crews I have experienced traveling with Southwest have been very competent and welcoming to me as a passenger traveling with them though. I enjoy the ease of getting on and off the plane.

Southwest Airlines is good. It is easy to purchase tickets and their online check in makes it easy and faster check in. They have easy to navigate website and I do not have to go through outside travel sales. Fares are competitive and some good deals. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Seats are not as small as others, better leg room. I wish their luggage carry on area was bigger. It seems there is never enough room for carry on suitcases. Also, they are limited on areas that they fly to and from and not on all airports. No snacks too. But I would fly with them again.
Reviewed May 30, 2017
Good reward system and their pricing falls reasonably within my budget without sacrificing quality. I like their baggage policy and always very friendly staff, too. Definitely higher quality than the value brands. But small seats and always crowded. I wish there was an option even if you have to pay more to choose your seats. I also don't particularly like the check in process and the determination of who gets to board first.

I like Southwest's efficiency the most. Kiosk check-ins and curbside baggage check-ins are my favorite. We never have had trouble with lost luggage and there are minimal extra fees. There were large lines, but they moved quickly. The staff on and off the plane are friendly and professional. Also, the planes have always been clean and comfortable. No obvious wear and tear that makes you nervous to fly. Southwest seems to fly wherever I have needed to travel. Overall, a good experience.

I like Southwest Airlines’ attitude towards travel plus they have reasonable rates. I like their service and the attendants are professionals and take care of their passengers. I do wish they went to more places both domestic and international.

They helped me find my gate and the hostess was extremely nice. I ordered an alcoholic beverage and when I got it I took a sip and I really disliked it. I paid five dollars for a tiny, tiny cup of alcohol and I told her that I didn't like it and she refunded my money for me. They were all very nice and kind to me and everyone around me and I really enjoyed. I also really enjoyed the pilot too. He was extremely nice and he let us know where we were. If we had in layover it was very easy to find my next departure gate and do a different airplane. We got where we are supposed to get and they made sure to keep me calm because I'm claustrophobic. It was my first time on airplane so I really, really had a good experience.
However, It was very, very, very chaotic in there. I had to wait for 40 minutes for my airplane and I had to stand the whole time. You have to pay so much money for these drinks and the alcoholic drinks are so tiny and little and I don't think that's fair. I think people are getting not a lot for their money and also there's not enough snacks. Somebody's on a plane for eight hours in there so hungry that they forgot to bring something to eat because they were in such a rush. All we got was two cookies in and a tiny, tiny, tiny bag of peanuts. Don't get me wrong I do believe that it was nice to hand anything out but in my opinion it made me more hungry and I had nothing to eat. Also the airplane itself on the inside was a little dingy and grungy. I think you could've used to be cleaned up a little bit. But other than that I had a great experience.

The experience was equivalent with a discount airlines. They fly to many cities and are economical. Your carry on bag is allowed at no cost. They fly to many airports large and small. They are constantly extending their coverage area as they started in the Southwest but now fly as far North as Michigan. Customer service is very good. I remember being treated nicely by the gate attendants and the flight attendants were very helpful while boarding the plane as well as responding to questions. However, I do not like the many layovers. Some of their commuter planes are really small and can get delayed even in rainy weather because they are too light to land. Sometimes the delays extend over a few to several hours in between. Sometimes the gates are very far apart. I prefer flights that are non stop. Overall, I had a decent experience.
Reviewed May 29, 2017
It is an easy process to use their website and buying my ticket or getting on the plane was fairly easy. The people at the airport are helpful and know what they are doing. They are knowledgeable on the airport and where to go. However, I do not like the fact that I have to pay more for a seat assignment. I do not like first come first served on the seats. It makes me feel like just a number. The price was fine, not the cheapest but the time worked for me so I chose it.

Used them three times, and all went very well. It was easy dealing with them. It wasn't expensive, things went smooth. In the airport and on the plane the staff and service was great. A pleasure to walk right up to counter, every time, get done what is needed, and walk away, all within five minutes. I would prefer to use them whenever possible as my service has been best each and every time.

It was expensive, but I loved the quality. I am not a fan of flying, but Southwest made me feel safe. The boarding procedure ran pretty smoothly. It was slow and it could have gone faster, but it worked. Customer service was absolutely marvelous! The flight attendants were very polite and so kind to everybody. They always had a smile and were so helpful! Seats were comfortable, and I had a great flight. The refreshments were all right. They weren't that amazing and glamorous, but they didn't have many gluten free options. They didn't have many options for people with food allergies.

Flying with Southwest was a fine experience. I like the cheaper fares and where they fly to. It also was easy to buy tickets online. However, I dislike that I had to drive to Birmingham for the flight. Nevertheless, Southwest is a good airline.
Reviewed May 29, 2017
My experience with Southwest was OK, you get what you pay for. Southwest offers lower fares so everything also looks a little older and is not as well kept up as other airlines. Some of the planes are so old they sound like they are going to crash mid air. Give me anxiety. I would rather fly with someone who upkeep theirs better. Also I have had a lot of flight attendants who are just plain rude. But I like that the prices are low and they offer the first two bags free. All other airlines make you pay at least $25 dollars per bag which can add up. All airlines have the fee nowadays. It like spending an arm and a leg after you already spent that in the airfare.
Reviewed May 29, 2017
This is my favorite airline and I use it every chance that I have to go anywhere it goes and particularly on my flights from Nashville to Philadelphia. Also, reliability of service and friendliness of crews are an excellent reason to choose Southwest any day. There is nothing that I can say I dislike about any experience I have had with Southwest whenever I travel.

I enjoy flying with Southwest because it is easy to book your flights, no baggage fees, up to two bags fly free and convenient location to my home. They offer great customer service and friendly staff. It is also budget friendly, hassle free and stress free which is exactly how I like my vacations to begin and end. However, the only thing I dislike about Southwest is that there aren't more locations to fly out of. Other than that, Southwest provides great flights and makes everything from booking your flight and landing at your destination extremely easy. It's always a pleasure flying with them.

The best thing about Southwest is that your baggage flies free. No other airline does this. I like flying Southwest. I always check their airline first. It was great! Never had any issues while flying Southwest. However, it would be better if they flew more places. Would fly with them again. Best airline for the prices.
Reviewed May 28, 2017
Reasonably priced airfares, easy to use website, and good service. The Seating process on the plane makes boarding go much faster. The process for lining up to board in the terminal is hassle-free and expedited boarding. The flight staff were friendly and accommodating, though service was a bit slower than average. I also appreciate not having to pay to check luggage. The seats are quite small and there is very limited leg room for a tall person, and short seat belts. For a tall person with long legs, the seating space is very cramped.

I'd thought and refreshments and food were served often and I was very happy about that my ordered food was delicious and it didn't take too long to get to me. Fantastic service from the employees, I never had any trouble with an employee. They were all very nice and down to earth. I chatted with an employee for about 30 minutes about the movies we enjoy. Very good experience with this airline company. I only paid about 300 for a ticket and to me that's super cheap and I loved it. I saved some money and was very happy about it. What I dislike about them is it usually takes longer than I expect to get to my specified location. I like to be at places as soon as possible but with this airline sometimes my flights are delayed or we tend to stop at a bunch of different states and cities before getting to where I'm supposed to actually be and it can be very irritating at times.

I loved Southwest because they are very friendly and easy to use. They did not make you pay for your bags and they have excellent service on their plane. The flight attendants are friendly and cute. They also ensure your comfort throughout the entire ride and keep you happy. They always keep a smile on their face and will never ever keep you on the plane with a bad attitude. They do not let you down no matter how rude you are. I loved the food and drinks they serve on the plane. They offer meal plans for money. However, I don't like that they make it so expensive to travel because they make all the extra things. They make you pay for every little thing but everything is expensive. They also need to make sure that they don't overbook. Every time I have flown, they have overbooked.

The Southwest website and app are very easy to use and convenient. They have a range of schedule options, good prices and good customer service. They also offer a number of online services through their app. Purchasing tickets is easy using the website. They usually have the most competitive prices and they do not charge extra fees for luggage which is an advantage over other airlines. Check in and seating have never been a problem even though you cannot choose seats until you get on the plane. Seating practices reinforce check in procedures because you want to get a good seat. Friendly and funny staff on every flight I have taken.
A minor issue is that the majority of flights I have taken with Southwest have included two or more stops. They do give you the option when searching for a flight regarding the number of stops you will consider. Fortunately most of the layovers I have experienced have been short. The only problem is that they have more limited areas available in my personal situation. While they do have a number of small cities that they serve, living in Lexington Kentucky, I have to drive over an hour to use the services of Southwest.

My daughter left work early and did not receive an alert that her flight was going to cancel. She was in line boarding the flight 3604 when it cancelled. SERIOUSLY??? Her bags are going to get to Houston Hobby 10 hours before she does. I am on the phone right now, for the 2nd time, trying to get her on a flight from Phoenix to Denver and Denver to Houston so she can get her by 10:00am tomorrow (25th). The reason I am on the phone AGAIN is because your representative could not speak or understand fluent English. WE ARE DONE!

Southwest is my favorite airline. Always a good experience. I enjoy their sometimes politically incorrect humor. Love their honesty and their attitude. The staff appears happy with their jobs. I like that they have no fees for baggage! No surprise fees. I am very loyal to them because of this. I also like that their staff seem to be empowered to solve problems without waiting to ask a boss. I like the first come first serve boarding. I wish they had more routes. I would use them to fly everywhere. I wish they have more food. Would also be nice if they allowed more pets on board. And more food. I can't think of any other issues with the airline.

Flying is expensive with any airline company, but it's been a while since I have flown Southwest because tickets are so darn expensive. However, I remember enjoying flying with them and not having a bad experience. I remember them giving drinks such as pop or juice and little snacks, and I love that the employees are kind. If I had the chance to fly with them again I would take up the opportunity.

I like how friendly and personable all of the flight attendants are. Wait times were pretty low and flight wasn't too crowded and it was quiet. Refreshments were available and had variety.

Personally it was quite efficient and easy purchasing tickets. If I had any trouble, I had customer service help me and it was a good service. The airplane ride was smooth and friendly when it came to the flight attendants. I like the kind and respectful attitude that the attendants gave me onboard the flight and the fast service when it can to boarding the plane and taking off immediately and safely. The only thing I did not like was the during one experience it took longer than expected to board the plane due to the incoming plane arriving behind schedule.

They have VERY good customer service, which really surprises me since the airlines I go to aren't the nicest or great. The people on the plane are very nice. Other airlines I use just have a snappy attitude which really makes me disappointed. I love Southwest Airlines. It's very unique and I use it the most out of the airlines I use.

Recently got back from a golf trip up north. Well, flight was ok but when I went to pick up my golf clubs noticed back bracing and wheel mount busted. Was in a rush, would let them know later. Well, on return trip returning home I called, reported. They informed me I had 4 hours from time damage was noticed to report it. Since I reported after return flight they do report as courtesy. Well, claims e-mailed me back next day saying since it was beyond the 4 hours, they were not liable for damage. Very poor answer. I'm a very honest person and to be treated like this on a $ 300.00 bag. Poor way to treat your customers, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES!!!!

They informed us 2 hours before our flight was supposed to leave Nashville that our flight was delayed by 2 hours. Which meant we were going to miss our connecting flight in Denver. There were no other flights out of Denver till late the next morning to ONT. So they were essentially telling us that we could spend the night in the airport... With a 2 month old infant.
We asked about a hotel... She said she couldn't offer that. I asked if we could fly into LAX and rent a rental car if they would cover the cost. She said we would have to call customer service about any refunds and they were currently closed... So opting out of having an infant overnight in an airport for 15 hours... we took the flight to LAX, and rented a car so that we didn't have to ask them to reimburse us for 2 hotel rooms which would have cost way more. We then had to drive at 1AM in the morning 1.5 hours to get home and then took half the next day picking up our car from the airport parking lot and returning the rental car.
After waiting on hold for 35 minutes to talk to a customer service rep all they offered was $75 per person in vouchers... So they weren't even willing to cover the rental car. The $75 would be issued back to the email that booked the reservation (company flight) so I would have to call back again... Wait on hold again... And probably bug the company that flew us... To get the vouchers transferred to me... Told her that since I won't be flying SW anymore that the vouchers were worthless. Had high regard for this company... Not anymore. Delta's customer service handled the situation much better when I needed help from them.

Southwest, overall, was a very enjoyable flying experience. They have the most manageable fees when it comes to checking your bags. The stewardess was very friendly and helpful, and I even had an extra bag to check and they didn't charge me for it. The price of Southwest is probably the main reason I like to fly with Southwest. I loved it every time. Their prices are always the lowest and most competitive. There amenities aren't always the best, but they are anyways the best bang for your buck.

Southwest Airlines fly often to many cities. Tickets are cheap, but so is the experience. They don't even provide you with bottled water on long flights and the bathrooms are always a mess.

While having to go to Midway Airport instead of O'Hare, which is a bit of a inconvenience, things go pretty smoothly has Southwest Airlines. We were allowed one bag plus a carry on, along with a drink and snack during the flight. The price is very competitive, and the various times available for flights is in general pretty good and the one time we had an issue with a bag being damaged, was taking care of in a reasonable amount of time. The ability to pre-register 24 hours in advance is also very convenient. Things in general go pretty good at Southwest Airlines but the biggest issue is the seats are a bit cramped. The only other issue is I was not allowed to bring an outside cup into the plane so I could not finish my drink.

I like that it was a easy process, but amenities was not that great and the refreshments can improve considering the amount you pay to fly with this airline. Another thing the plane was a little too crowded. However, good customer service, staff was friendly starting back at boarding, which was easy and not stressful. When we boarded the plane the pilot made sure to speak to everyone. The safe instructions was very clear and the plane was clean as well. Overall, the ticket price was more than other flights and in the beginning I thought it was too high, but I had to fly on Southwest because they had the time I was looking for and after the good customer service, it really was all worth it.

I really enjoyed it. The website made my options clear (both pricing, dates, and departure time) and the amenities were great. I LOVE that they don't charge for check on bags! No hidden fees for silly things and they are by far the cheapest airline I've seen in a long time for what they actually offer. Everyone seemed to know what was going on at the gate but their boarding process can be a little frustrating. I like knowing that I can get a good seat and sometimes that's just not possible. So I do wish you were allowed to select seats prior to arrival. Great in flight snacks and they also carry Dr. Pepper in flight which is awesome.

I would like to have more room on my flights but that's the price you pay for having a good price on tickets! And it's comparable to other flights that are more expensive anyway. Their prices are always reasonable and they don't sneak in extra charges. However, I wish that they had flights to the cities I want to go to when they have those super sales. Overall, my experience with Southwest was great. I like that it's up to each passenger to choose and get a good seat. You check in online 24 hours before and then you get a place online based on how early you checked in. I like that they always give food and beverages no matter how short the flight, too. They have the best customer service of all the airlines I've used and their flight attendants are always pleasant.

I had a good experience with Southwest. I like the open seating arrangement and the boarding style. I also like the low special fares for the flights, as well as the the last minute fares.

There are so many things I love about Southwest. Several stand out more, very courtesy flight attendants and the humor of the flight staff. They ease your nerves before the flight takes off, always making it more fun to fly. The pilot and co-pilot always talk to us and are so friendly and informative. They always exceed my expectations so when it's time to book travel, I always go there first. Not to even mention the more than reasonable fares!! There are two things that I dislike but it's so non important because the outstanding service they provide makes this seem petty. I do not like the snacks they hand out and also that they don't fly in and out of more places. Other than that overall experience with Southwest has been outstanding, safe and considerate. I have flown with them at least a dozen times. I am in a wheelchair and they go completely out of their way to accommodate my needs.

Easy going at great prices. Their online ticket purchasing was pretty easy in itself but it's just hard to match a good price to the right dates and then deciding on what time of day to fly for a better value. Sometimes their Want to Get Away deal confuses you when trying to book your flight. I like that there is no business class or first class makes every passenger a priority. They offer a laid back environment and the flight attendants usually make you laugh during the safety procedures taught before the flight takes off. I've never had a rude attendant wait on me. They have always been helpful. If there is soda or peanuts left over they'll give you seconds and thirds. On the other hand, what I dislike about Southwest is it can get very cramped on some flights. Overbooking and standby seating seems to be a very common issue. I always find myself asking a flight attendant if my flight will be full. That way I can periscope the best seat I can get in advance.

On 5/16/2017 I went to pre-board Southwest Airline Flight 1669 from Orlando to BWI at gate 121 leaving at 9:50 am. I had an unfortunate interaction with a ticket agent name whose name began with a V. I could not pronounce it. Eventually she had to get assistance from a supervisor (Sue) to avoid us missing our paid flight. Delayed us by 45 minutes. I was arriving back from a peaceful carnival cruise to utter rude, discriminating behavior by a Southwest employee (Her name began with a "V" I could not pronounce it) towards large people.
Flying from BWI to Orlando my wife purchased 3 seats, 2 for me 1 for herself. Initially my wife and I were flying back to BWI with a relative, so the 2 seats my wife purchased would be fine for her and I, because our relative would have been in the 3rd seat. However that changed, so several days prior to the flight while on my cruise I called Southwest and spoke to "Ria **" what a winner, she had trouble understanding and communicating in English. All I needed to do was add 1 extra seat so that I would have 2 for myself as I did when I flew into Orlando and 1 for my wife. Speaking to Ria ** was so frustrating and exhausting, and made me regret using Southwest Airlines. I had to repeat the same information several times, I begged her to take her time and she said she got it. Little did I know when she said she got it, she meant she got it wrong.
I asked for a confirmation email to assure I had purchased the extra seat. She did send the email but it did not depict what I needed. And by then I was already on my 8-day cruise in the Caribbean. The woman checking myself and my wife in for pre-boarding (Name began with a V) verified our documents and the extra seat and we sat down. Later she came over to me sitting down in the open lounge area, she said "Openly in plain earshot of airport onlookers" using her normal inside voice "May I speak to you about your 2 seats".
I was utterly humiliated, embarrassed and felt ashamed, onlookers were snickering and laughing. This could have been handled in so many different ways as to not disrespect and humiliate a paying customer. I emailed the contact us group on 5/17/2017 and received one of those system generated email responses. No other response or movement towards a restitution.

I am glad that my sister and mom bought us a ticket to visit them and it was our first time flying with this airline company. It was also memorable since I have my first son.

Great way to travel. I like their prices a lot and their customer service. The plane itself looked clean and I also liked the workers who worked on the plane. The food was great and they had a good selection of beer and usually it was me asking for another beer. If I needed anything they were right there for me. But I did feel cramped while was on the plane but I feel like all planes are like that unless you're in first class. Overall, the experience was nice.

Customer service was very rude to my face and they are not nice at the counter when doing work for the customer. They should know the customer is always right. I don't like the wait by letter to board your plane. The wait is so long if you aren't boarding first. It is like a cattle call. You are the only airline that boards this way. Maybe they should look at how other airlines board planes because this should change soon or you will lose many customers. The only thing people might like about Southwest Airlines is the color of paint you all chose on the outside of the plane. Sadly it should be something else to like about this airline.

I'm overall pleased with Southwest Airlines. I had a long flight which included a meal and in-flight movie. Their disaster plan was presented in a fun sing song manner. The pilot even stepped out to introduce himself to all of us. He also provided a little background on himself and his experiences. All of the staff was exceptional. They were super friendly, always asking if they could do anything for us. They were offering pillows, drinks and snacks. There was always a flight attendant handy for any questions and they even helped me to make a call in flight.

Southwest is wonderful and there are many things I like about them. I like their boarding practice where you call in advance, get a number, then board by that number. Pretty efficient and fair. I also like free baggage and I think they are the only airline that offers it to everyone. Another nice feature for Southwest, you can make a reservation and hold it for 24 hours. They offer free Sirius Radio and Direct Television channels and flying time certainly goes by faster with these two perks. I also enjoy that Southwest serves Coke products! The plane is always clean, the seats are somewhat comfortable (more comfortable than many other airlines) and usually the flight attendants are friendly, informative and efficient.

City Bus of Airlines: I flew SW for years! Then they screwed me over on a promotion that I qualified for and never got my A-List status back. So I decided to go back to United and actually earn REAL perks. SW is lame with their no assigned seat policy. Really!? Just to be different? So families boarding later can never sit together and you MUST check in online 24 hours beforehand to secure your early boarding? That's the only real "perk" you receive with A-List - earlier boarding. Big deal. This is what SW told me was "lucrative". It's laughable. A city bus is a city bus. No seat is better than another. No first-class, business class, nothing...
They claim that they have no baggage fees like other airlines. Big deal when they charge $30 roundtrip to board earlier to TRY and secure a seat with your family - when other airlines let you choose a seat beforehand online. Oh and the flight attendants using handheld trays to serve drinks is completely ineffective. They prepare a few and have to keep running back and forth to secure more drinks. What happened to the tried-and-true drink cart that every other airline uses?! Ridiculous. Oh and when they lose your baggage (twice in a row for me)... There was no apology, care or anything other than a canned response. Will have to say I'm done with SW... The cattle call of the airlines.

While in college, I chose not to participate in Greek life. Boy am I lucky I saved those dues, because today, I was a part of the biggest Frat party in North Carolina history (sorry to steal your thunder, ECU). This morning at 8:00 AM, (a Sunday) (MOTHER'S Day), I boarded a flight from Raleigh to Fort Lauderdale, so I could make it to work by 1:00 pm. When the captain announced a mechanical issue, rather than assist us with our travel arrangements, your flight attendants saw the inactivity as the perfect chance for in-cabin kegstands, launching a trivia game complete with shouting, cursing, most importantly, free booze.
The chiming of flight attendant bells by those demanding their hunch punch served as a *bumpin* soundtrack to the chaos that ensued. They even turned off the AC to make it feel like a real nightclub, so we could all be in a sweaty, overpacked space, demanding alcohol from a bar-tending baboon. For approximately one hour, I remained wedged in the back of the plane, listening to customers scream out trivia answers and flight attendants scream obscenities over the intercom. Talk about customer service!
Taking your cue, Southwest, let's play some trivia. Q: How many American adults suffer from alcohol use disorders? A: As of 2015, 18.4 million. See, e.g., Nat'l Inst. on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism, Nat'l Inst. Health, "Alcohol Facts and Statistics" (last visited May 14, 2017), **. Now I assume you didn't know that, because if you did, you'd realize how inappropriate, cruel, and outright disgusting it is for your employees to galavant about, glorifying early morning drinking in the manner of an 18 y/o frat boy.
As an adult human, I am appalled by the ** that your employees chose to start on my flight this morning (if you can even call it that, since it is now 11 am and we STILL have no departure time). As a recovering alcoholic, I am genuinely disturbed by the ineptitude and ignorance of your idiot flight attendants. Not all of us are on vacation. Not all of us wanted to rage and/ or get "turnt" this Mother's Day (at least not before sunrise). Maybe next time you could instruct your flight attendants to assist us with our travel issues rather than the destruction of our livers. Thanks for nothing. Idiots.

On my first experience flying I was very nervous. It was with my mother and luckily it was on Southwest Airlines. I was pleased and I don't think it could have been better unless I was in first class. It's been a very pleasing and enjoyable flight. The price was very reasonable and the flight was very relaxing. The pilot made the ride smooth and comfortable and the plane and seats were very clean.
They have easy going staff who made sure that everyone was as calm and comfortable as possible and that goes a long way. They were as polite as possible and seemed to only care that the passengers were happy. The stewardesses seemed very friendly. If anyone had a problem they took care of it. For example a young boy was very scared and they gave him some candy and helped calm him down and made him laugh. Most airlines wouldn't care and would just let him be scared so I found this very much professional and that's how it should be in my mind because flying can be scary even for adults. They do their jobs perfectly and should be recognized for the effort and perfection. Overall I really like Southwest Airlines. I will always fly Southwest and I strongly recommend flying with them to anyone. It's cheaper and is in my mind better than most other airlines. I was so comfortable and worry free.

For example, if your first reservation is $300, second reservation is $201, only the $201 is subject to refund. You can only get $101 after $100 processing fee. The $99 remained in the first reservation will be gone. When I questioned the reasonableness of calculation and the different stories I heard from different customer service, the lady sounds like I have no idea why it looks like this, it is none of my business.

I've been flying American Airlines on a weekly regional flight for several years and decided to try Southwest since it opened a new route for the cities I fly to and from. SWA beat American on price, but the service has been awful. I called today (Sunday, noon) and spent over 29 minutes on hold, listening to stupid recordings telling me how important SWA customers are, before a person actually answered the phone. I told her that I was absolutely baffled by the ridiculously long hold, in contrast to the BS recordings I'd begun to memorize, and what that really says about how SWA sees their customers. She said they had heavy call volume - yeah, right - mid-day on Sunday.
As to the substance of my call, after another hold, a supervisor finally confirmed - 40 minutes later - that I should have booked one-way flights instead of round trips so I would be in A status months ago, instead of seat B 54 tomorrow. Bottom line - if you're a business/frequent flyer - you are better off paying more for good customer service, and not being treated like a farm animal by Southwest Airlines.

In general, I dislike when the person in front of me puts their seat back during snack and drink times, as I've had my drink knocked into my lap by someone leaning back with all their heft to push the seat back rather vigorously after I'd just been given a drink with ice in it! I also dislike when I don't get an assigned seat beforehand, as I usually don't like to board until the end due to claustrophobia and the annoyance of having anxious people milling about me. I have had issues with my carry on not fitting and having to have it stowed under the plane, despite me telling the flight attendant that I had to get to my friend's rehearsal dinner an hour after deplaning and I purposely didn't do a checked bag due to time constraints. I don't think it was her fault, but perhaps she could have checked a larger bag in lieu of my rather small, carry-on sized bag.

Southwest Airlines are prompt and offers better service. They have good flight attendants and pilots are knowledgeable. They make you feel relieved and tell you what to do that can save your life. When they talk to you over the intercom listen closely to what they have to say even tho they get boring. They have good movies and their amenities are good but it could be better. Also, it takes time to get to the plane. And I hate retrieving my luggage lost easy.

Southwest is an overall very positive experience. Great American airplane company. Their ticket prices are much cheaper than competitors and are easy to obtain. Their ticket prices are always great. Boarding goes smoothly and there are no extra fees which I like. I also like that there are no extra fees for carry-on and two bags. The flights leave and arrive on time without many issues. Also their customer service as always been friendly. On the other hand, I don't like the check in 24 hours prior to your flight leaving. It forces you to be near your computer to make sure you get decent seats. It would be nicer if they had assigned seating.

I had a trip planned with an acquaintance that he purchased for me, for May which I never went on. Because we didn't see eye to eye on things he realized that the funds would turn into a credit on my rewards account. He told me to use it for a future flight. I did not know how to do this via the mobile app so I called up an agent first thing in the morning yesterday. She probably didn't get enough sleep because she totally screwed everything up. I requested a trip for dates in June and she booked me for a flight that left YESTERDAY and returns on May 8th. She sent the confirmation to an AOL email when my rapid rewards is a gmail account.
Sooo, I get on the phone with customer relations furious and they tell me that there is nothing that they can do but refund the money to the original cards... making me lose credit that was posted to MY account because of a cancelled trip!!! They expect this acquaintance to Venmo me the money as if nothing ever happened. Their agents are incompetent and I will NEVER be flying Southwest ever again!!! I fly once every few months for conferences with friends and I will be sure to let all my friends - and even go to the airport to let people know what had happened to me to be sure that this doesn't happen to them. Southwest did nothing to make sure that I was happy such as issuing a credit to my account despite THEIR employee error!!!

Passengers were inconvenienced as we headed for the back of the plane. When all seats in the back were filled, this rude duo made their way to the front of the plane.

On 4/29/17, flight 4866 from LA to Phoenix, Arizona we were delayed departing by about 45 minutes. This was due to incoming flight being late. We were asked to return our tray table to the upright position before we got our drink order. We were in row 7!! Once we got it we were told to drink it quickly and get our tray up. We had to "chug a lug" it. Not enjoyable. When I commented to the attendant that I was surprised that SW would even charge us since we were 45 minutes late in leaving. She said "Thank you" with a Cheshire Cat smile. Why wouldn't they just say they could not serve drinks due to the short flight (55 minutes). We have been on several other SW flights that were late departing by just a short amount of time and they apologized and no charge for the drinks. Who makes these decisions?
My husband and I are very disappointed In the rude response of the flight attendant. Being told to hurry up and drink it was not a comment that should ever be spoken by a flight attendant as a representative of SW. If there isn't time to enjoy the drink, the customer should be given the choice of denying it or accepting it. One thing that contributed to the delay of us receiving our order was the flight attendant had to return to the galley 3 times before she could get the orders filled correctly and that was before she got to row 5!

There were many other airlines flying into my destination that day so the airport was functional. I ended up rebooking on another airline with very little notice at hefty price, I contacted S.W. requesting reimbursement for the extra flight I had to purchase as they did not offer me a means to return within a reasonable amount of time or to the same location. The response was, "Since the matter was beyond our control we do not offer to reimburse."
While the cancellation was beyond their control the matter of re-accommodating me was not, I firmly believe they could have helped me find a way to my original destination on the same day. Because they did not take care of their part I am confident that they can and should cover the cost of my additional flight. This type of service, or lack thereof is appalling.

One young lady (early 20s?) was sitting in the very front seat and had a full sized golden retriever type of dog that laid in the aisle for the entire trip - there is no reason that a large dog like this needs to be in the cabin. On the other flight, one from Oakland to Chicago, someone behind me put their dog in a carrier under my seat.
