floridaguy joins the multitude of "not ever guys" that have incorrectly prognosticated Southwest's future
Hawaii --- never
International -- never
Big City airports - LGA, BOS, ORD, LAX, etc -- never
remember DEN -- never (that one's pretty funny)
BZN -- never

There are no Covid related travel restrictions of any kind. No one will question you.
Use your own judgement. Mask up. Keep washing hands, etc.

Poor boy.
You must be crushed to be one of the thousands of people affected by cancelled flights every single day.

Passengers with RR #s have a complete view of all future and past travel.. The only way to access
those accounts is via a userid and password.
One cannot view others' account from within their own accounts.

Yes, you will get your A-List status as soon as you compkete your return flight.
It is important that you not no-show the return flight. If you were to do so, the return would be a no refund situation but it would also negate the outbound flight and you would end up one flight short of A-List qualifying.

Wrap your seat cushion in your jacket. You'll be carrying a jacket, carry on, and personal item on th plane. The two item rule applies to items that need storing. well, you won;t b wtoring your seat cushion -- you'll be sitting on it.

I would not count any any price drops in the three days before a departure date. Just buy the ticket. If the price happens to come down, rebook at the lower price and pocket the difference as a travel fund.

If you earn the points in 2023, they will counttowards 2023 CP earning. The CSA told you correctly. SW says so too:

Happy New Year to you , too.
Butt in paid seat today or tomorrow is your only hope.
Lemme understand this. You are being tempted to move to another airline next year because you fail to make A-List again? Exactly what might that accomplish? You'll pay for checked bags. You'll pay for your seat assignment. Genrally you'll pay a bit more for standard eonomy. You might pay for carry on bags..
What exactly are you hoping to "get" from another airline?

@DancingDavidE Thanks very much for listing some of the ways a RT might not be as good as 2 OW flights. I didn’t know you couldn’t cancel a return online if you’ve already completed the outbound!
I don't think that is what David said. You CAN cancel a return flight after your trip has started.
If you simply don;t take the return flight, you will lose the $value value of the leg and you will not recieve RR points nd flight credits for the outbound flight.

IMO, the main advantage is that your return does not get automatically cancelled if , for whatever reason, you no show part of the itinerary for the outbound flight.
Especially important for anyone tempted to take a hiddn city trip

The softwzre will let one book a roundtrip with as little as the required minimum connection time between incoming flight arrival time and departing flight departure time -- as little as 45 minutes in some cases.

You do realize that "all of the other airlines" at MDW operate maybe25 flights/day - if that many?
So if you are wondering why "all the other airlines" didn;t have more cancellations at MDW yesterday, then maybe that's your answer.

1) Makw sure your e-mail address in the account is correct
2) When you make a new reservation the airline will ask which e-mail it should use fornotification. It shouldbe the one shown abov
3)At the point in the reservation process mentioned above, ypu can tell the irline to use a different e-mail addess for the ntification

Yeah, when something like this happens, you REALLY need to say something to the fight attendant
The FA is busy trying to get a bunch of people off the plane (and also cleaning up as this is goig on) - and you assume the FA was payung attention to your legs in the one second that a kick occured., That is one very large assumption.

Thre's no way to do what you want. Points go to the ticket holder - regardless of who paid for the ticket. If you use a Chase RR CC, at least you'd get points for the ourchase.

@@Southwest stop the rampant fraud in a few steps.
1. all Preboard row 6 and back only unless they also possess A1-15 board rights
ILLEGAL by federal law -- one cannot treat preboarders differnetly than regular passengers

So disabled people who ned help would be banned from getting help ... really?

Generally streaming does not work. The size wifi pipe is insufficiently robust to allow it.
If you stream, some significant number of others won;t be able to use WiFi.

As ong as you stay inside the sterile zone, you will not need to clear TSA again.
Also, Southwest would not sell a connecting flight if it did not think it possible to make the connetion.

$193 for the out bound with a ponts flight for the the return doesn't sound too painfu - considering a same day upgrade costs -- what $40-$50?
Heck, I once did a weekend in London points flight to earn lifetme status with Continental -- which has translated 25 years later into lifetime 1K on United.

Can you buy a ticket and then cancel the flight, which means I'd have credit on my account. Would they still give me the points? Or do you actually have to fly to earn those points?
You have to fly to get the points.

There is no service from Miami.
FLL has service. Click the link and pick your dates to see what's available

The problem you are going to run into is that nonstop service from say, LAX, leaves late enough that it misses the connection in FLL - necessitating a night in FLL to catch the HAV flight.
