As long as the flight attendants can seamlessly carry out their duties, the uniform isn't the top priority, right? Efficiency is key! However, if you ever find yourself in the mood for a casual exploration, you might want to check out some comfortable yet stylish options at https://www.fullsource.com/sport-tek-clothing/. After all, why not blend practicality with a touch of style when it comes to work attire? ... View more

Sorry this was confusing, I have learned some tricks that are helpful to track your status.  1st the  terms are listed in this community board; see the new changes for 2024 they have lowered the number of flights to get A list and also decrease the number of CC points needed to earn the 1500 bonus toward A status; you can also check your progress toward A list as well as companion pass in your RR account under your account;  you can also look at your points activity and filter it by type such as companion fare or A list and see what was applied;  I have just noticed that some flight bonus points don’t count toward CP or A list either and they have added that information when I look at the points for a flight it will say how much also goes toward CP and A and it is quite a bit less  ...

I think you need to contact the airlines directly and ask for any additional fees, and it is better to ask for a link to which you can refer at the check-in point. ... View more

@Southernpilot wrote: Are we allowed to save digital boarding pass drink coupons for future use or do we have to use them on the leg they are issued for ? I believe the terms on them are for that flight only, or I'm vaguely remembering that one version of these used to be valid on the same day but not sure if that survived to the digital coupon age.   That said, save a copy/screenshot of them and ask nicely, many FA will allow it but YMMV. I'd say you have a good chance for same day usage. "Hey I didn't want to have this at 7 a.m. but now I'm on the way back home at 7 p.m. and I'm ready..." will be understandable by many.     ... View more

I think SWA could easily reach a lot destinations in Colombia and Ecuador from their Florida and Texas locations. It would be great to see Southwest expand service to Bogota and or Medellin, Colombia. The current flights servicing those locations by Avianca, JetBlue and Spirit are always full.  ... View more

@sungi wrote: Just purchased my first wanna get away fare. One of the features I'm hoping to use is the same day change and standby option to get on a near earlier flight that day. I had some questions.   For the same day flight change and standby option, does it include travel to co-terminal airport? For example, if my original destination is San Jose but there is an earlier flight going to Oakland, can I change to Oakland with no upcharge? Same day flight change lets me change flight on day of travel. If I've already checked into my original flight (done day before), can I still change the flight to an earlier one on day of travel? They open up the coterminal cities when there is a big delay such as weather system coming through, but I don't think you can change airports under normal operations.   Once you are at the airport they have more power though, I think they can shuffle your destinations there depending on all the factors.   I don't think there is any good option about the origin airport other than people who show up at the wrong one accidentally anecdotally they will try to take care of you. (ORD vs MDW, DCA vs IAD where the airport is literally in the same city - not SJC vs OAK in that case. Houston and Dallas are newer entries to this category and I don't know if they get mixed up or not very often.)     ... View more

guess is that if you call southwest and say you would like a refund, they will tell you that there is no policy on seat saving and tell you that you could have sat in that seat.  It's several years after your post and the same seat saving is still being done today.  At this point, I do not think it will ever change.  Southwest got their money and that is where they stopped caring.  ...

I don’t unfortunately, but I emphasized “What’s the point of booking through Chase?!” a few times and explained that SW would allow me to change my flight without issue. I’d keep trying and asking to speak to a supervisor. I’m sorry, and I hope you get this resolved soon!  ... View more

Oh, the whole vape-on-a-plane thing can be tricky. I actually had a buddy who ran into a similar situation. He was 20 and flying out of California. He had two vapes in his carry-on. The TSA did check his bag, but they weren't really looking at his age, just making sure it wasn't something dangerous. They let him through without any issues. ... View more

This “The Middle Seat” guy just trolls every thread here singing SW’s praises, telling people how dumb they are for voicing any position against the company…he’s obviously on their payroll. Talk about useless information, LOL.    Agreed. You can’t “legitimately” lose a bag. Its negligence: plain and simple. Unfortunately, SW goes beyond not caring, they intentionally do everything they can to get out of paying for losses they’ve caused. They lost my bag too. I went through all the protocol they required and they are still refusing to pay me. SW’s goal is not to make their customers whole after they’ve lost their bag….their intent is to bully you, intimidate you, place unrealistic expectations, and fail to communicate, in the ultimate hope of tiring you out so you’ll go away. So here is some useful information: know that you will have to pursue legal action against SW to get any movement out of them.  Their lost baggage claims process is not created to help its consumers—quite the opposite.  ...
