Officially: skipplagging which is prohibited.   Unofficially, no big deal. Southwest is  not as upset about it as the big 3, and even they only go after people that do it repeatedly.   No You cannot add a companion to  just the first leg of a flight with a connection. ... View more

First of all , if you wan to file a complaint, you can do so by clicking on "contact us" below and following the prompts .   When the seatbelt sign is on, you are supposed to have it on. FA's are not going to say "why yes, you are free to move around, when the light is on." Did you see yesterday's  story about the plane that encountered turbulence,  and people that were not wearing belts were thrown raound and bloodied. Heck, they had to pry a guy out of the ceiling. It happens.   My only comment would be that if that incident is enough to get you to swear off Southwest, wiat til you eperience much worse on about every other airline. Give it time, and you won't be flying anyone. ... View more

   Sorry to hear of your recent troubles.  I t is frustrating to sit around for hours and hear asolutely nothing about what is happening. If I were you I would complain about it. You'll likely get a voucher good for future travel.  To do so, click on "contact us" below and follow the prompts.   As far as your cost of airfare for trips in the near future, it is just a fact of life (expecially in the summer and arround holidays) that the closer you get to the date of travel, the more epensive the flight becomes. That is sometihng  you will see on every ariline.   You could see if one of the budget carriers (Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant) has something cheaper. But buyer beware, each of them will try to impose extra fees, that in many cases will make the flight more expensive tthan the regular airlines. ... View more

Southwest always refunds to the original form of payment. I presume the agent assumed your payment had been in dollars and not vouchers.   In this case the taxes you paid with a CC got refunded, since vouchers cannot be refunded to vouchers, the oerson got a travel credit in the amount of the voucher payment. ...

@shubh242 wrote: Hi guys,   So I have two queries regarding the flight that I am going to take. My flight is from Boston to San Jose on 9th August 2024. And there is a connecting flight from St. Louise given by the airlines itself.    First of all, the layover is of 1 hour between the flights and there is change of plane at St. Louise. So is the airlines going to transfer my luggage at St. Louise and I will get my luggage in San Jose or do I have to check-in again for my luggage before boarding the flight at St. Louise. In Boston, your bag will be tagged with San Jose as the final destination. You willnot have to do anything with your bag in St. Louis   Another query is about the luggage. Will it be okay if my checked-in baggage size be of 63.5 inches (h+b+w)? I know that the baggage size restrictions are less than or equal to 62 inches but my country there are no bags of such size. By policy, your bag is too big, but the difference is small enough that you will probbly get away wiith iit. If you run into a zealous person at the check in counter, anything is possible. My experience is that Southwest is very strict on the 50 pound weight limit, and a bit less so on bag that are just a little over the size limit.     Thank You in advance, Regards.    ... View more

The problem is that SW is short of planes and it is getting worse.   Boeing promised SW it would deliver hundreds of new planes in 2024 then a few months back it said "Ooops, wel'll send you 20 in 2024" All the while SW continues to retire 737-700s that have reached the end of their useful lives, and is returning 737-800s that are coming off lease -- because SW did not know about the Boeing problems until it after it lost the ability to renew the leases.   It is a mess, and it is not likely to improve until Boeing gets it;s act together and actually ships a significant number of new planes to SW. End of 2025 maybe, 2026 - more likely.   Safe travels to you. Feel free to come back after Boeing get's it's at together. ... View more
