Thanks for quoting me from last year. Apparently winter isn't magic enough... make it spring now.

Book the trip as two one way flights. Boom...6 payment types instead of 3.
You can also use frequent traveler on the website to make it easier. This function is not yet available on mobile.

I see you didn't remember the open seating and no bigger seats on your outbound flight.
To make it worse, you didn't even get a free drink.
Sorry for your loss. But don't bother with a class action... It won't happen.

@gsking- regarding same day standby, your companion doesn't get that benefit if you choose to use it while traveling using CP.
Right. That's why I said it doesn't help with full flights.
But if it's an empty flight, they will give you the seat... then you can add the companion.

Since she was removed from the flight, I surmise they already know about it. I don't think they need your input.
Nor do we need to know about it. Hearsay on an extremely isolated incident? It doesn't affect us. We don't have any input for you.
But hope you feel better getting it off your chest.

This is a quite inefficient way to use points. 15,000 points will get you about a $220-250 flight, depending on the taxes you save. Plus you get free refundability... So it's like buying an Anytime fare.
Spend them on a $100 gift card and you're instantly out over 60% of your value... Plus you lose refundability except to the purchaser's travel funds.
The only reason to do this would be to get qualifying flight credit for the flight purchased, but that's a very high cost.

A good reminder not to commingle new funds with existing travel funds, especially off they are close to expiry.
Best to split round trips into single legs, too.... Each one can use three forms of payment (6 total for a round trip, instead of 3). More ability to keep funds isolated and improves flexibility in cancellation etc.

You mean "full flight", not "overbooked flight". They are different things.
A full flight just means people want to fly, and aren't afraid of it. People like me who have flown the entire pandemic and never caught Covid in a plane, but instead caught it on the ground... twice. The second time after the vaccine.
So really... flying is the least of your worries right now.

You expect them to extend your CP for a year because you couldn't use it "for whatever reason"?
Sorry, that's not how life works.

Exactly. There's no real standard being applied, so there's no way to decide when things are "better".
I'd be willing to bet some airlines keep them longer than mandated, because they feel it improves their market position.
I still hope they give us a maskless "smoking section" in the back of the plane. It'd be a fun way to see how the cliques interact. 😄

Per CDC, it's anytime the previous day. The 1-day period is 1 day before the flight’s departure. The Order uses a 1-day time frame instead of 24 hours to provide more flexibility to the air passenger and aircraft operator. By using a 1-day window, test acceptability does not depend on the time of the flight or the time of day that the test sample was taken. For example, if your flight is at 1pm on a Friday, you could board with a negative test that was taken any time on the prior Thursday.

The fare will likely go up within 14 days of flight. So that $60 would be more. If you book the flight and miss the connection, they will put you on the other flight if there is room. I would call SW and get their advice. I suspect they'll tell you to pay $60 and get the earlier flight.

Just get the smaller one. The 24" I presume is the annoying culprit that people refuse to check (for free) but then has to go sideways in the overhead. One women the other day said "Wow, it usually fits as long as I'm not in the first few rows"... so even an apparently seasoned flyer had an issue with one. And there's always the underseat ones which are even more flexible.

If you haven't been flying for the past year, what do you expect to change next year? You MIGHT not have to wear a mask... if we're lucky. Other than that, I can't think of a thing that will change with SWA. And exactly how are you "close to getting one" but "can't get there due to Covid". You're also not spending enough on your card for to Covid?? Not making much sense, sorry.

In my experience , in most situations where someone uses "disrespected" as a verb, they were the ones acting in a manner without manners and respect. It's not a one way street, and I've never seen an employee be the instigator.

As has been said multiple times, you won't get the pass, and possibly notification, until January 6th. And regardless, you can't book a ticket with a Companion Pass you don't have. Yes, there is a chance that the flights will book up. But unlikely. As was said, if you're worried, booked the flight with points and then cancel later.

Okay, he's right for 2000 points. The sale is only on larger quantities. Then they get down to 1.6 cents. My bad. And the cost in points you're quoting does not include the taxes, which is why it seems so cheap. 8000 points is worth about $140. So you may pay $50 in taxes plus the points, or around $200 cash. Either way it seems cheap and you want to consume the points either way. The nice thing is further cost reductions go back to the buyer's points, not to travel funds tied to each traveler. So there's no risk purchasing now.

That is a very cheap fare. I say jump on it. You'll get a rebate if it goes down. I'd have E buy the extra points on sale and book their own ticket. Transfer isn't worth the cost. The cost of taxes will be high, particularly on the return. They are paid in cash. But fortunately, all points and cash paid for taxes are refunded in kind if anything is canceled. No risk.
