Financial, or tech? 12 dollars to Southwest better then 0, unless the more people makes more jet fuel?
It's more valuable to hold that seat for an A-list or Business select customer that needs to change flights. I'm sure there is a break-even amount that would make sense to fill it rather than fly empty and that number might be in the $20's or $30's for short flights.
But the strategy is definitely to get the flight booked earlier and charge more later because you can (the flight is worth more, especially last minute business flights that will pay).

WiFi for me on newer aircraft has been very reliable.
I agree in the past year the number of times it works is definitely on an upward trend for Max and -800's. Not absolute, but definitely improving.
Agree, I haven't had any problems on a MAX. 700s are a different story lol. Internet either doesn't work or works unreliably.

Thanks for sharing Andre!!
Do you remember your first WN flight and what was the route?
The reason I ask is although I'm not 83 (I'm 72), but I do remember my first WN flight: DAL/LBB in March 1978. Ahhh, the days of free liquor for all.

Note that this isn't happening when we change our flights. When I download the ics files, I get one file for the outgoing flight and one file for the returning flight. For example:
1. Download PDX_to_OAK.ics and OAK_to_PDX.ics files.
2. Import PDX_to_OAK.ics into Google Calendar. Adds outbound flight to calendar.
3. Import OAK_to_PDX.ics into Google Calendar. Adds returning flight to calendar AND deletes outbound flight from calendar.
So I only end up with the returning flight on my calendar.

Seems ez enough but for any "gotcha". I am the paying passenger with 1 confirmation code and my wife is the companion pass with a separate confirmation code. I will check in first as the primary so will she be automatically checked in then or do we need to check in separately?
She'll be checked in when you check in.
You'll want to go ahead and verify, but it won't be a race as either one of you checking in first will cause the other to be checked in.

If the left 2 fair boxes show prices is the flight not sold out?
No - in rare cases I've seen BS apparently sold out while there were still WGA fares left.
1-15 - get them while they are hot!
I don't think there should normally be any limit on Anytime though - if Anytime is sold out, the flight is sold out.
All of the others could be blocked from sale for one reason or another but still have seats open.

Not to be unsympathetic, but the title should be; Don't lose your wallet anywhere and expect to get your money back. I've read on here where the opposite has happened and all things were restored and returned. Just in the case, sadly, it wasn't.

The stroller won’t count as a carry-on against your (ticketed passenger) count as it will be gate checked. Be sure to get a stroller tag from the gate agent prior to boarding.

If there’s more than one individual with the preboarder, check with the gate agent on boarding too. Also, the wheelchair is usually airport-managed but you can arrange with SWA.

This was a strange experience I had today, and I am not sure what happened and wanted to know if anyone has had this happen to them.
I found a flight a little later than the flight I was ticketed for and could get a refund on some points I used to book, figured, why not - might as well make the change. I did this, got my boarding pass, and even upgraded to the A boarding group. When I went to board, my ticket was denied and I was told 'I didn't have a ticket to this flight'. Thankfully the counter staff was able to get me on a flight (5 hours later, anyone got any time-killing suggestions at DIA?) I decided with all of my free time to call customer service (counter staff suggested this as well since she said I shouldn't have been able to check in if I wasn't ticketed.)
Now here is where I really got frustrated, I call SW and the agent said verbatim 'when you changed your flight you must have done something wrong' I kept pressing her on how I was able to upgrade my boarding pass, save it to my wallet, view it up until minutes before boarding in the app and she had no answer for me.
Just really disappointed in how I was treated, and curious if this has happened to anyone. At a minimum, I think a refund on my 2nd leg of the trip (like 13k points) could be a fix, but she kept insisting I DID something wrong. I was honestly shocked.
Part of the issue might be solved if you can find out what flight you did have a ticket for - hopefully you saved that boarding pass, double-check the flight number and dates that there wasn't accidentally a change in the date being shown when you changed it.
Since it allowed you to upgrade position could it have been one day ahead? Anyway - rule that out first.
@bec102896 's suggestion is also great to confirm that your transaction when through and you weren't still ticketed on the original flight.
I know its a pain, but it will help your case if you can rule out some of these pathways before writing to the company.

Hey, @Lazuras1993
So sorry to hear that your application didn't work out as hoped for this time around. That LAX Ramp Agent position (R-2023-29676) received over 600 applications, and that makes for a competitive interview process. Of course, we aren't always able to get to all applications when we receive that many, but I'm so glad our Team was able to meet you and get to know you & your interest a bit better! Thanks so much for coming out to meet some of the Team and spend some time with us.
There are many more opportunities to join us in the Los Angeles area and beyond (and many positions on the horizon, too!), and we'd love for you to continue considering us as a prospective employer! It sounds like you've got the passion for Southwest and our operation, and I'm certainly rooting for you to land a career with Heart!

Thanks for sharing @dfwskier !
Like dfwskier and @DancingDavidE stated, this schedule release isn't an announcement of any new airports being serviced, but rather enhancements to our route offerings.
@floridaguy while you may not have a desire for Southwest to service Knoxville and/or to travel there yourself, I ask that you 1.) be respectful and courteous - as there are Customers who would appreciate that offering present on the forum and 2.) be relevant to the topic you're engaging in. These are both Community User Guidelines that all Community users must abide by.

Hi,
I have a handful of drink coupons that are going to expire. I have a 6a flight coming up and don't plan on drinking, BUT can I just cash in my coupons and take the alcohol bottles with me for my vacation?
No, they must give you the bottles opened without the cap. (Sometimes they do, but that’s rare and not according to policy.)
However you probably can still use a “lightly expired” coupon in a later flight. Save them until you get a FA that will take them,

I’ll be traveling with 2 small children, am I able to check-in one car seat at Baggage check-in and then Gate check a double stroller along with another car seat?
Yes! The terms are that you get two items of baby gear per kiddo, it doesn't matter which are gate checked and which are curbside, or ticket counter.
The only issue I ran into on this front was when we used a resort check-in one time at Disney they marked us down with having used all our allowances and then when I wanted to check another item at the airport they thought we had used up all of our allowance.

Is it possible to receive a flight credit in lieu of a refund? I booked an anytime ticket and it is not cheaper but instead of receiving a refund to my credit card, is it possible to receive a flight credit instead?
When you go to cancel the ticket you should get a choice for refund or travel credit.
I'm not sure what scenario would make the travel credit better but that wasn't your question.
