Either that or do away with snacks all together. I will bring my own nuts from now on. Cats set off my asthma but I carry an inhaler and I am not saying southwest should stop letting cats in the cabin. Maybe I should.  There was some mention before that an additional offering would be in the works.   On longer flights I enjoy the frito's to avoid gluten, but it is tough on the short flights with only pretzels offered.     ...

@roxanmcgill your enthusiasm is a great way to show interest in a new career, however you might want to put more effort into showcasing your interest and talents. I was a recruiter for a different Company and like SWA, reviewed thousands of applicants on a daily basis. My biggest suggestion is not to make the employer do all the work. Spell it out for them! What position are you looking for? What experience and education do you have that will make you successful in the position? Have you searched SWA’s career site and created a dashboard?  Are you proactive?   All great ways to professionally show your interest.    Good luck on fulfilling your career aspirations!    ...

@desnda93,  @DancingDavidE has the best advice.  Consolidate two things into one, and then you will have the one carry item and the one personal item.  Once on the plane, you can quickly remove your purse from your bag before you put it in the overhead bin.     Ironically, you have to get on with two but can exit with three, so as long as you can combine down to two before getting on, you should not have a problem.  It might be good to check the measurements of your makeup bag to ensure that it will count as a personal item.     I hope that is helpful.  Keep in mind that if you have a connection, you will have to “re-consolidate” before boarding the second plane.  Fortunately, it is unlikely that you will have to go through security screening again, but not a guarantee because it depends upon the airport and flights.     Good travels!   ...

@RobertGary1 wrote: I hope that SWA doesn't miss the bigger issue here. Its not about rebooking this one person. Its the repeated problem that SWA's system doesn't email you immidately when this type of thing happens. When you book you get flooded with emails to rent cars, etc but if a flight or reservation is cancelled by SWA its total silence.   This is a computer bug and needs to be addressed as such.   -Robert Actully, Robert, Southwest does send an e-mail to the address tied to the reservtion the second a reservation is made, changed or cancelled. I have literally hundreds of examples in my e-mail folders. ... View more

We will make it up to you is the saying now. What how about what is going on right now! Well if it's "monopoly money," then you should throw it away since it's worthless.   Then again, if t reduces the cost of a future flight, then it's not really monopoly money, is it?   Sorry, you got delayed and inconvenienced. It happens on all airlines. The airline did try to mke amends by providing a voucher. ... View more
