I've never experienced this - online you only get three per reservation regardless of number of passengers on that reservation.   Not sure if you called to book a larger group could you use more.         ...

 Yes, we can all read the policy, but when an agent on the phone tells you that they are going to make an exception and  issue a refund the customer should be able to trust that.  Southwest Vacations is the most dishonest and incompetent company I have ever worked with.   ... View more

If you announce a full flight at the gate, you will encourage a rush of everyone wanting to preboard.   Best to figure it out after preboarding. ... View more

SoCalFlyer97 uses two tabs on a desktop machine to shop/book flights not necessarily to save time but the intent for me is to save me from seeing numerous "Don't forget to book your trip" emails in my inbox.   When I go through the Low Fare Calendar, I'll open up a new browsing window and shop in incognito mode. Once I find something, I'll login from my standard window and book the flight. That way, if I'm looking up my different date and airport options a decide to opt out of the higher priced options, it won't trigger this email. ... View more

@CupCrusher40 wrote: To save walking does software know if new flight number same plane connection? I would assume the answer is Yes as third-party flight trackers certainly "know" ahead of time and the gate monitors in the terminal reflect this.   For example, if one is waiting at the gate for a flight that is beginning its flight journey under its flight number but the inbound plane hasn't arrived yet, one can log into FlightAware and track the assigned inbound physical aircraft even though it would be operating under a different flight number. ...

@CupCrusher40 wrote: Be careful cancelling, you only have 3 method of payments ty   Yep...Southwest's payment policy is:   A maximum of three forms of payment per Passenger may be used to purchase an itinerary. The following may be used per Passenger: up to three flight credits, up to three Southwest gift cards, and/or up to two Southwest LUV Vouchers.   https://www.southwest.com/help/booking/forms-of-payment   However, there is a means to combine flight credits if one ends up with multiple credits from cancelling a multitude of flights. One can book a new flight of same/similar value with up to three flight credits but later cancel and receive one combined flight credit back. This process is similar to "converting" any non-transferable WGA flight credit to WGA+ transferable.    E.g. One can buy a new WGA+ flight using any combination of a LUV Voucher, flight credit and gift card for example, pay using the three options. That person would then later cancel the flight and receive a single transferable flight credit in return. ... View more

@mandmore wrote: I've flown on both 700 series and other planes, and yeah, I've noticed that the seats on the 700 series tend to have a bit more padding compared to planes with more rows. It does make for a more comfortable ride, especially on longer flights. You are talking specifically about a Southwest 737-700?   Everything is out the window when you go across airlines, they can choose many factors on their seats.    As @dfwskier pointed out a couple of times Southwest has their own standard and it applies across the fleet. So you might get a 737-700 that's hasn't been refurbished as recently as a newly delivered MAX, if you prefer that seat then definitely try to book -700's on your next trips.   But any -700 would have been refurbished at some point, there aren't any (or very few remaining) original leather seats out there in the fleet, and the airline is actually getting to its first round of recycling/upcycling process on the synthetic seat covers now from the replacement of the last leather seats.   Width can change throughout the airplane - if you had seats towards the very front or far rear they could be a little thinner than seats in the middle of the plane, that is also a variable.   Width and pitch however could vary among airlines if you mean any airline's -700 airplanes then it is their own design, and timing for refurbishments. ...

@CupCrusher40 wrote: ty The prices may be updated as often as every half hour but there is a trend for the industry to make updates and respond to each other's pricing in cycles.   This would be in addition to the changes three weeks out when there might be an increase, a week out, and two days out but that varies by route.   But with Southwest it's easy - go ahead and book it and then if the price lowers on a Tuesday you can reprice it for a travel credit.         ...
