  • I can’t do Southwest because I prefer to sit at the bar until they call the last boarding group.  There’s no reason to sit on a plane for 45minutes before takeoff.

FUCK SOUTHWEST! They began boarding 5 minutes before posting time so my A 02 boarding order was a waste. Ended up boarding by cutting in front of the B line

I will represent you in your lawsuit for punitive damages.

I’m sorry you got robbed of spending even more time inside an airplane. 

You should of cut in front of anyone in A that wasn’t A1. Also the app is pretty good at letting you know that boarding has started.

I would’ve just started laying pipe everywhere to demonstrate my manhood and displeasure.

Put me in the I will never fly that fucking airline again boat.  To and from Tampa with my kids and all the shit that makes SWA horrible happened.  Trying to login and 24 hours and .0001 seconds or you get boarding group F 70 and have to sit all over the fucking airplane with kids and seat savers.  Fuck that shit

Sounds like a perk to me. Depending on the age of your kids.

Oh, the fucking seat savers.  Always some miserable Karen traveling with her family of 7 and saving seats for her BFF's family of 9 who is boarding group C40.

That's the other got damn annoying thing.  Two crowds: 

1. Hey, I'm A15, you're A16. get back!

2. We're all C- group why does it matter.  

 

Regarding 2, well because C1 and C40 ain't the same is it.

 

I have quite a few FF miles left and I'm not sure what to do with them.

I blew all mine this pass week.  Closed the RR card that got me the points in the first place.   Never again

Midland is great in July.

They replaced tomato juice with bloody mary mix. FUCK SOUTHWEST!

Nothing says I am fun to be around like getting pissed off about tomato juice does.

Anyone have any drink coupons for April? I have a few flights to Texas and I need liquor before arriving at family .

What is it, my period? 

 A few SWA questions: 

1) Is there a way to determine the age of the plan when you book your flight? It seems like damn near every SWA plane I've been on has been in service since the 80s. 

2) Quietest part of the plane? I sat in the first row on a flight to DC and it was deafening. 

3) When are their sales? I remember one in August maybe.

Mr & Mrs T is the Yugo of drink mixers.

Always do the math for your particular flight. I bought some points at 40% off a while back only so I could extend my existing point to purchase a flight. With the "40% discount", it saved me like $6 over paying cash.

The math on this is pretty simple. SW points are worth about 1.5 cents each when redeeming. If you can buy points for substantially less (1.2 cents each may not seem like a lot less but it's basically 20% off SW flights), you'll come out ahead. If not, you won't.

Southwest has grounded all flights today due to technical issues. 

 

The ground stop was lifted and service resumed.

I won’t fly southwest again unless I have no other choice. The board and the c room need to be sacked.

To me that's not cutting.  Fuck Southwest.

Been trying to rebook a flight with American Airlines for about 5 weeks because their customer service team gave us bad information last summer (and bad information every time we’ve called them the last 5 weeks).
 

Southwest’s cancellation/credit system is infinitely better. I don’t even have to talk to someone at Southwest to use my credits and they don’t have arbitrary end dates when they expire.

I’ve fortunately had very few issues with SWA, and this has never been one of them. Re-booking and cancelling without losing points is never a problem.

So I'm flying SWA tomorrow for the first time in forever. Paid the $20 for the early-bird check in. Went to app and it hadn't checked me in yet. Clicked check-in and got B26. Why do I feel like I was taken for $20? I'm flying solo with just a backpack so it's not that big a deal for overhead storage but should I have gotten a better boarding position?

Depends on the flight. I've gotten everywhere from A40-B30 with the auto on. I'm pretty sure it assigns the number and then shows it to you when you sign in. If you don't sign in right at the 24 hour mark you'll usually be in the C's

Early bird check in where you still have to check in.  That's a really great system.  We always just check 1 bag between us, so I never bother with trying it.  I check in as soon as I can and usually get at the tail end of B group.

The Early Bird fee only moves you up within the tier of the fare you purchased.

It works like this for boarding assignments:

A1-15: Business Select fares

A16-whatever: Anytime fares + Early-Bird

3rd tier: Anytime fares

4th tier: Wanna Get Away fares + Early-Bird

5th tier:  Wanna Get Away fares

1st, 3rd, and 5th tiers are sorted by your frequent flyer status.  Checking in at exactly 24 hours prior to the flight does absolutely nothing.

I'd hope not, it's one of the only "OG SWA" things they have left.

Flying AA to Mexico today and noticed they don't have the traditional in-flight entertainment. Everything is from your own device; streaming etc. Haven't flown AA in a while as I'm a Delta loyalist, just something that struck me as odd.

That seatback stuff has weight and it all adds up.  Everybody has a smartphone or ipad these days anyway. 

If you're in a premium long-haul seat, you still get the screen. 

Flew on SWA to LGA on Friday and it went pretty well. I was able to snag an aisle seat near the exit row. Thought it was interesting that a 737 Max didn't have USB chargers or power outlets which AA flights all have. 

For Pete's sake, does everyone get pre-boarding privileges now? I swear 30 families got on the plane before the B group was called.
