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,

Will also add if you're not affected or are flying more than 72 hours from now, please be kind to fellow travelers and do not clog the support systems with questions right now! 🙏 Just a personal thought!

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.

I travel a lot—at least every week— and I’m a SWA loyalist.
I heard something new today from an attendant: it’s a Federal Aviation Regulation, (FAR) that roller boards must be wheels in or out in the front bin.
A courtesy? Yes, absolutely. Especially on a full flight. But this flight had at least 100 opens.
I just acknowledged the request, and sat a couple of rows back. These attendants deal with enough idiots, no need to add to the stress.
BUT… I am curious, I checked the FARs and didn’t see mention of this.
Does anyone know?
As in not putting it in there sideways?
My guess is that this is to maximize the number of people in that section that can put their small personal items up above since there isn't any underseat space for them in the bulkhead row, as well as FA items and safety items taking up some of the space there.
Making it an FAR sounds like a stretch to me, the FAA would have to make separate rules for all different aircraft configurations.

You can’t buy an A List preferred ticket you can buy business select which based on A2 is what he bought buying business select doesn’t come with the perk of sequential boarding numbers

Why, DancingDavidE, why??? I'm sad for you...😥
No worries!
I had A16 even a little better position than usual, but pre-boarded with my mom and I had her take the window while I took the middle. Full flight so not much chance of sitting aisle/window that close to the front.

You can’t link the reservation to your account however there is a manage reservation button on the app you can type in the confirmation number and name then you can view their reservation but you can’t add your RR account to their reservation
if you are traveling with them on that confirmation number you can add your number when you look up the reservation and then you can see it on your account and earn your points for your ticket (they earn their own points)

Hello,
Any pilot who is taller than 6ft? I am really interested in applying for FO in Southwest and I was wondering if I am able to get hired, with my height being 6'7''. I am interested in flying commercial aviation and I do not want to get my passion crushed just for a height restriction on my end. I am trying to apply for FO and I really love this airline so much that I think that SWA would be a great place to work as an airline pilot.
If there is any height restriction within the airline for pilots, please if you could let me know that would be great!
If anyone is willing to answer, please do. Thank you so much!
Are you already a pilot or First Officer with another airline? I would imagine that this type of limit would be pretty standard across airline.

Invisible disabilities can be just as debilitating and challenging as visible ones, and individuals who have them deserve the same respect, understanding, and access to accommodations as anyone else. Disabilities come in various forms, and it is essential for society to recognize and accommodate these differences without judgment or skepticism.
As you mentioned, conditions like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can significantly impact a person's ability to travel comfortably and safely, even if they appear fine on the surface. The need for pre-boarding or other accommodations is not a matter of "cheating the system" but rather ensuring equal access and reasonable adjustments to make travel possible for everyone, regardless of their disability type.

Sounds like you were on a flight that was delayed due a ground stop. If that's so, you'll want to check the airline's flight status and keep in touch with the gate/flight attendants.

This has been discussed endless times before. Southwest doesn't have a policy on every single element of the flight experience. However, with open seating, there is no assigned or reserved seating.
I have personally occupied a seat that was "saved" and I told the individual that it was a great subject for a book, but not supported on Southwest. The individual didn't complain.
I suggest everyone else do the same.
