Either Esteban or you are very confused. @Lanmon wrote: I feel SWA owes me two years of Companion Pass....for 2019 and 2020. The 2019 was a carry over from 2020 to 2021. So, I am using the 2019 pass. I earned the 2021 Companion Pass (for achieving over 125000 points) but it cannot be used because SWA only issues one Companion Pass per year. "I feel (someone) owes me"...so much wrong with this statement. You might consider checking your feelings with a little logic sometime. I feel I should win the lottery too...but that's not going to improve my odds. You can say you can't fly all you want, but that's either factually incorrect, or not SWA's fault. Planes are flying. YOU chose not to fly on them. Tough break for all of us...things aren't as rosy as a normal year. Would you also demand an extension if you wanted to fly to Key West but it was destroyed due to a hurricane? No? This is the same thing. Act of God or whatever they call it in legalese. My advice? Quit your whining...it makes you sound petulant. But if you must vent your soul on the Internet, try to get your facts straight first.

@TFLY Agree, to only some extent. I've not figured out how SWA GA is dropping the ball on this one on every single flight. We are told to line up by the silly silver posts, yet nobody does and the GA does nothing to correct it. ME AS G.A. "If you're lining up by the ticket scanner and not in the designated area, I won't scan your ticket." Please line up in the designated area/line." That could actually work with distancing, but then again, it is nullified once you get past the GA and are in a line trying to get on the plane. I'm A list so I am always one of the first on, and I can't figure out how the 6-8 people in front of me cause a backup from the get go....wth, all the seats are open just sit down already.

Even IF Dr. Firstenberg and Meehan were "quacks," it wouldn't make their citations of medical and scientific literature invalid. Here's a list compiled by Denis Rancourt: https://vaccinechoicecanada.com/wp-content/uploads/masks-dont-work-denis-rancourt-april-2020.pdf Fact of the matter is that the pores in face masks are simply too large to make any difference, and the constant re-breathing of one's own breath may actually increase contamination. Not to mention, forcing someone who is unable to wear a mask violates the Air Carrier Access Act.

I'll add one more voice asking Southwest not to change their policy in response to the new FAA rule. Mental and emotional disabilities are real, and ESAs make a huge difference for many people. My wife included. There has to be a way to screen out the bad actors without punishing people who needs the emotional support of a dog to be able to travel, but whose dog doesn't perform a "task" as a service animal does.

My Bundle reply: Let's start with the obvious, laptops, headphones, IPads, and/or the majority of "electrical items that are reasonably small and light enough to go on the seated plane area with you. I personally thought this was a no brainer just on the damage element alone. Not just SWA, but any airlines with how I sit in the plane by the window and watch the bag handlers throw without any regard for contents the bags they are putting on and getting off a plane. I travel with both a laptop and an IPAD in my carry-on bag, done! No damage or theft of them in over 10 years of owning both of them. Now to address that, SWA, is in total possession of them, that I can't answer for sure, but I think if I would do the research I could find that every airline in the WORLD has had items stolen from passengers baggage, (thus how I started out this thread) If your irritation is with the response you got, then just state that and address it to the customer complaint process that is also mentioned. I personally would love to see you contact your local TV station and report back to us how well that went. I'm not saying you won't get any traction, I just know if I was a newscast person I would scratch my head thinking, so what is it you want to accomplish contacting me. If this was a news story, I'd be covering it every day from every airline. YES, theft happens, in all industries, not just the airline industry. I appreciate that you spent your hard-earned money, but I doubt SWA just blows this off, EVEN THOUGH, as also been stated, you hand their responsibility off when you check that bag. Bless you, and I hope you have a better holiday in the upcoming future.

Also, just as quick to the Summit County ski areas via Colordo 24 to Colorado 9 as from Denver - much quicker than via I- 70 on high traffic days. I did it many times when Western Pacific flew out of the Springs. The drive back to the Springs at night can be a bit disconcerting when there are literally hundreds of eyes watching you as you drive thru Wilkerson Pass. (deer, elk?).

@Cwc624 wrote: Hello, I need to speak to a representative from Southwest that I can contact about bait and switch tactics being used by Chase Visa Card. I have photo proof of what I signed up for and been constantly contacting them for a couple months now to no avail. If you may be able to help please let me know. Thank you Southwest has no control over any offers that Chase may make. Thus your concern should really be voiced to Chase. If Chase Customer Service has been unable (unwilling?) to help out, you could write a letter to Chase's CEO: James Dimon CEO JPMorgan Chase & Co. 383 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10179 Include whatever evidence you have as well a documentation of steps you've taken so far. As an aside, this situation happens frequently due to Chase's practice of having multiple credit card offers available at the same time. So people think they are signing up for one offer, and they inadvertently sign up for a different one.

Afternoon. Found this thread when researching which airlines will protect my health by following the basic science of viral transmission that we've had locked down for something near a hundred years now. I was getting a kick from the plandemic people in the thread with their hilarious accusations that masks don't work or that the virus isn't real. Let me guess folks, the earth is flat and the moon landing was faked? 😂 They're spying on us with the five gee?? 🤣 Never fails to make me laugh when people are *proud* of their ignorance. Anyway, masks do work: https://www.nature.com/articles https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449/d41586-020-02801-8 If you simply *must* continue to be ignorant on purpose about it, well shoot you know you're right, right? So you should have no problem saying so with your full name and face attached, right? Come on, I bet your employer would love to hear how much smarter you are than every virologist in the world 🙂 what are you, chicken? 🐔🐔

At the least the crew should be repremanded and client reimbursed for flight, lost meetings... Incredible What is truly incredible is that people like you, who have no first hand knowledge of what happened in the minutes before the video started show up and bellow. SW told you what happened. The passenger refused requests from multiple employees to wear a mask. Do that on any airline and the result is the same: you get booted from the flight. Get off your fake soapbox and get a life. This situation was literally tailor made to trigger a certain segment of the population. It's distressing to see so many buy it -- hook, line and sinker. But I suppose that shouldn't be surprising anymore. 😞

We're so sorry for any frustration, @Mobius! To provide an answer we would need to understand how you have been booking the extra seat. If you're just purchasing a second seat, this can cause issues at boarding like incorrect passenger counts or weight and balance issues. Our Employees are instructed that they should be proactive in looking for extra seats booked incorrectly to avoid these types of issues. If you've been booking following the guidance on Southwest.com, there should not be an issue with the way it’s booked, and I wouldn't be able to know why you've experienced these issues, so you would need to Contact Customer Relations for assistance. I hope that helps! We look forward to our next opportunity to welcome you onboard.

I don’t have the exact timing to share with you as it varies by aircraft series. However, the Southwest Technical Operations Team completes every air filter change as part of a scheduled, routine maintenance program before each filter’s recommended service date. Hope that helps!
