Here is some information that may be helpful Q: What is the pay rate for the Southwest Flight Attendant position? A: Southwest Airlines new hire Flight Attendants are paid $24.41 per trip, for the first six months after passing Initial training. After successfully completing the probationary/onboarding period, the pay increases to $24.72 per trip for the next six months. A “trip” is 243 nautical miles or approximately every 55 minutes of flight time. Scheduled hours are based on operational needs. On reserve, Flight Attendants typically are scheduled on average for 72 trips per month. For a scheduled “line” of trip assignments, Flight Attendants typically are scheduled on average for 80 trips per month. Q: What is my per diem once I start flying? A: Southwest Flight Attendants are paid an hourly per diem allowance for each hour the Flight Attendant is away from their assigned Flight Attendant base, starting at the time of required check-in and ending 30 minutes after arrival of their last trip in a sequence. This per diem is designated as compensation for meals. The per diem allowance is currently $2.30 per hour. If a Flight Attendant works or deadheads on a Near International flight (near international is defined as destinations or flying located within the region of North America but outside of the contiguous 48 United States), you will receive a per diem rate of $2.85 per hour. The Near International per diem will begin at the report time of the duty period including Near International flying and continues until the termination of the pairing. Q: Do Southwest Flight Attendants need to pay for uniforms? A: The initial uniform cost is approximately $500, which is payroll deducted from each Flight Attendant in increments of $25, twice a month. Each subsequent year, Flight Attendants will receive $220 in a uniform account for purchasing additional or replacement uniform pieces.

Thanks for your input. 🙂 If other airlines are offering lower fares, then there is a better chance that Southwest will eventually match. If the others are all at the higher rate now, then the other factor that is part of supply and demand is competition won't help you until one or more carriers realizes that supply > demand and adjust.

Sorry you will not find that answer here. The last opening for a Flight Attendant job was 2/5/18 and now is closed. "In order to remain consistent in our hiring practices and to be fair to all applicants, they only accept applications for a specific position, and only when the job listing is active on the Careers page." The flight attendant positions would only be listed under the city of Dallas Texas, the Southwest Airlines main headquarters.

BASE INFORMATION: Q: Where will I be based after training? A: Our current Flight Attendant bases are in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Oakland and Phoenix. Bases are assigned during Initial training, dependent upon the operational needs of the Company and seniority within the training class. Q: Will I be able to change bases during probation? A: When a base opening becomes available (vacancies), they are awarded based upon Flight Attendant seniority under the collective bargaining agreement. There is no limit to how many times a Flight Attendant can bid to change bases, while on probation. Q: How long will it take me to transfer to the base that I prefer? A: It varies depending on the operational needs of the Company and Flight Attendant seniority. A transfer could occur within a year, or it could take much longer to be awarded a preferred base. Q: Does Southwest Airlines pay for me to relocate to the base that I am assigned to? A: Any relocation costs are at the Flight Attendants own expense. Q: Will I be able to commute to the base I am assigned? A: Commuting is allowed, but it is not encouraged. Southwest Flight Attendants have very strict attendance requirements and expectations. Also, keep in mind commuting takes time away from your personal life; your three-day trip into potentially five days of travel, while only getting paid for the three days of trip assignments.

Just remember, you had to have reported the damage to Southwest within 4 hours of when you received your luggage (if this was a domestic flight). That said, as this is mainly a Customer to Customer forum, I suggest you reach out to Southwest directly through their Customer Relations Department.

@GDIBass Matt, Yes, if you book with points you can still add a companion to the flight as long as there's a seat available. You can't add a companion to a flight booked with an e-pass (free flight voucher), but that's not too common. I think that's about the only time you can't. --TheMiddleSeat

Will we have enough time? What happens if we miss the connection? Do I have to pay for a new flight? Where will my checked bags end up? Thanks! Good morning. First point would be that Southwest wouldn't sell you a ticket involving a connection if Southwest didn't think that you'd have enough time to make your connecting flight. So f your flight is on time, you should not have any trouble. If' your flight is late, then it depends how late it is in order to determine whether or not you make your connecting flight. Remember your connecting flight could also be running late. Also if you are running just a bit late, the airline might hold the connecting aircraft so that you'd make the flight - that's more likely later in the day. If you miss your connection, Southwest will automatically ty to book you on the next available flight. Your luggage would normally also be routed to that flight. Hope you have a good trip.

I did not get my points for an order from Harry & David's. I called the customer service department and was told that the entire 1800flowers (and other partner groups) have cancelled the points being awarded for purchases as of August 1st. Supposedly an email was sent, but I did not get it. Anyway - sound like points are no longer being given, but the website says they still are.

No, a car seat isn't required. You might choose to do so, and I actually recommend this alternative harness that is approved by the FAA which will be much easier - especially if you wouldn't otherwise be carrying the car seat onboard: https://www.southwestaircommunity.com/t5/Family-Travel/CARES-harnesses/m-p/75683 Above two years old the children will have a ticket, if you have a ticket you are required to sit in a seat during take-off and landing (that's FAA, not just Southwest), and it is recommended to be seat-belted at all times in case of unexpected turbulence. The FA may have varying attitude for him to sit on his aunt's lap during the flight (other than take-off and landing), that's up to you but you'll be reminded about the chance of unexpected turbulence. In that case at least you'll have a seat for him to provide more space.

@canoegirl wrote: Thank you Ashley, That definitely helps! Can you tell I'm anxious to get A-list? I have definitely seen the little needle moving, and the # of points indicated, but trying to plan ahead to be sure I meet the points, I have been unsure whether, for example, the double points promotion I've gotten on the last couple of flights were all added to that number, or just the regular points to the A-list and the doubled amount toward rewards flights. Did you make it? The other rule of thumb you could (have) used is whatever you spend on WGA fares is 6x points. So if you will be qualifying on points and you need 6,000 more points points, you would be spending $1,000 on flights the rest of the year - then you can gauge for your regular route what the typical cost is and how many more flights that would be. If any of your flights are last minute and the costs are high, go for the Business Select if it is a small incremental upcharge to get the 12x points - what might have been four flights to spend $1,000 would now be only $500 on one/two flights with Business Select. If you aren't/didn't/won't qualify on points basis but need a couple of flights, you could make a day-trip to a nearby location. For instance MDW-MSP is an easy trip, the light rail will let you take a trip downtown or MOA, and head back the same day to get two legs in if you were that close based on number of flights.

I’m not a traveler and I never traveled before this was gonna be my first time and I would really hate if it goes to credit cause I didn’t plan on traveling anywhere else. After the travel funds expire a year from the original date of purchase you may be able to pay a fee (currently $100) to have the travel credit exchanged for a voucher. If your credit was more than $100, then once you had the voucher anyone could use it in case you have a family member or friend that flies more frequently. Make sure of what the expiration would be for the voucher that someone you know would be able to use it before paying any additional money. Keep an eye on the sales, maybe you'll see a fun opportunity pop up to use all or most of your travel fund credit that you weren't expecting. Depending where you are it could maybe even be used for a day trip to somewhere like Minneapolis where you can take the light rail into town or Mall of America...sight see, and head back to the airport same day. Chicago is obviously a good one in that regard. A few other cities are also setup well to see a few sights and get back to the airport easily.
