They do MCO to RSW so why not MCO/MIA or other Florida flights.
oh and AUS/HOU AUS/DAL both 3 hour drives and they fly non stop to those cities so the 6 hour thing means nothing since they fly flights that are 30min

If a COS (customer of size) gets a 2nd seat they get to preboard it’s a real policy and it’s actually one reason those who do have extra weight like Southwest since they can get a 2nd seat for free and get to preboard to get the seating they need

I know last night/this AM SW had some maintenance going on because I got this message when I was trying to change my flight
maybe that affected the look of the site 🤷 but I’ll be in Orlando in just a few hours for a layover

Thanks for sharing your trip!
with the boards that tell you how full the flight is/standby passengers those you will usually see in larger SW markets (STL, MCO, MDW, DAL) just to name a few. I do find it funny that an airport could have one of those and it says full flight then passengers get on and ask is the flight full 😂

Why do you think you should be allowed to change the flight that was not affected by the schedule change?
I don’t think they were trying to change the return for free maybe the price dropped maybe they had plans change of a better flight popped up so they just wanted to change even if paying fare difference but the app won’t allow it once in schedule change mode

Ok I see what’s going on here you were affected by a schedule change (could be minor like a flight number change) you are fine with that flight but want to change your return. First yes the new way it’s handled is not great they need to create a way for you to accept your new flight so you can change the remainder of your reservation. Second keep in mind if only one flight was changed the free change will only apply to that changed segment so if your trying to change the other flight you would have to pay any difference in fare if that exists. At this time the only way I know to make the change you want is by calling or tweet southwest and see if they have a way to accept your changed flight so you can make the other changes you want.
I will pass this on to Southwest as well because I'm in the same boat on a couple of reservations that had minor changes but a price went down I just want my credit but can’t since it’s in schedule change mode.

Maybe that plane has issues with ATC communications and that why they say that
7 hour delays are no fun hopefully that plane gets swapped and they can make up some time
i know from experience that SAT isn’t the most exciting place for a 8 hour delay since all the places are usually closed by 8 at the latest
you might try reaching out to SW on Twitter to see if they can assist with anything

Delays are no fun but they do happen. An airport having 5 delays is nothing compared to December and yes 1 delay can lead to other delays especially in a place like SAT where they only have a few gates to use
after travel is complete send an email to southwest using the contact us link at the bottom of this page and they can review and see what compensation could be offered. Keep in mind there is where around the country that can affect your flight if the plane or crew can’t get to you. With regards to this flight it had a gate return in ELP and without the plane being in SAT it has created a domino effect unless they find another aircraft or crew as of now the inbound flight is 411 from ELP once that leaves hopefully you will have a better idea on your departure time.
There is also an 8:10pm flight boarding now maybe ask nicely to be put on that flight.

After thinking about this more I think one of the issues would be when other users use the quote feature because that puts the reply in their reply so while you might have a user blocked you still see the blocked users reply in another post if they quote to say “your wrong” or something else but I guess even if you see less it’s better so I’m not sure how they would fix that unless they took the quote away but I think it’s helpful in more lengthy discussions to show your response is to X comment
for example: if I am blocked by zev but middleseat quotes my post to tell me something then zev would see my reply in the middleseat post that has my reply quoted
If others have thoughts or ideas feel free to share I think this has been a great conversation

Your RR account will only show you flights that you are booked on. To see your kids flights you can create a RR account for them (which I recommend so they can earn points towards free flights) and when they are logged in you can see their flights. The other option is the look up reservation feature on the app/website where you enter their info. Unfortunately you can’t attach your kid’s reservation to your account even just for viewing

Unfortunately not at this time. I have suggested it to the moderators though so hopefully if others suggest it they can look in to that as a feature on the forum. I’d love to be able to block people who drive me crazy
your best bet for now is to report posts that go against the community guidelines such as bad information or arguments (unfortunately those seem to have increased lately)

See if your credit card will reimburse you for TSA precheck and KTN.
Look I actually agree with you here!!
lots of credit cards will give you a code to get Precheck or reimbursement as a statement credit and no reason to lose out on a benefit
I will add if your kid will travel internationally might consider global entry for a few bucks more and some credit cards cover that as well or a portion of that cost

Do we ever receive any confirmation of these points before travel / points hit our account from the RR credit card purchase? I have the "registered!" shown on the promotions page but that's it....just crossing our fingers?
Keep in mind this promotion is different than DND RR credit card points so you may have a promotion from the credit card but you would still need to register for this new promotion for the extra points.
so in theory if you have a targeted CC offer you could make some nice points

New promotion for Southwest’s birthday!
REGISTER then book by June 18th for all flights though October 31st you will earn double rapid reward points.
already booked? To get the double points you would need to cancel and rebook to get the double points AFTER you register for the promotion. so if you got a good deal with that 40% off flights it may not be worth it to rebook.

Yes, let's close all airlines. We can all drive or take the train.
Next time I go overseas, I'll drive across the Trans-Atlantic turnpike.
Thanks for the feedback.
That’s what cruise ships are for but instead of 8-12 hours it might take 2 days
i guess we can take boats and cars everywhere though if we close the airlines Uber from Florida to Texas 😂

So it’s not even after departure time yet but southwest is the worst? They can board a plane in 20min so might you leave 10-15min late sure but that’s nothing in the delay World heck even an hour delay is nothing
weather is going on in other parts of the country Your plane has to come from somewhere maybe they had weather.
Out of curiosity what is the flight number and city pairs so I can see how delayed it is and maybe I can find out some info for you.

I wonder if the aircraft for your flight was downgraded or upgraded and it messed up the boarding position of folks. Did you ask others in line if they had a change in boarding numbers.

If you made a simple type-o on a reservation all that would need to be done is a call to Southwest and as long as it’s not the whole name your changing they should be able to fix it and you wouldn’t need to cancel and rebook.
you could reach out to Southwest and see if they can add the EB back or issue a voucher for the cost of the EB if was just a simple mistake hopefully they would help

What’s the point of the promo code when it is automatically applied when you go to the low fare calendar or when you search flights on the app/website
i get it’s easier instead of remembering to enter the code just seems weird why not just advertise 40% off select flights (without the code )

Well if I have a choice of spending it twice and getting one refunded vs the price possibly going up and you get to rebook once you find out it failed at the new going rate that could be $900

You could book again and you have 24 hours to cancel and get a refund should you get the confirmation or the charge falls off.

I'm not referring to a message that is answered a week later. I'm talking about an instant message that gets immediate attention and the central operations calls the gate agent within 30 seconds.
Unfortunately People would abuse that for flight delays or other issues not boarding issues or violations. Kind of like the Lyft safety line to avoid the robot on the app just click call and boom you get a real person and takes them away from true issues.
folks can always request a supervisor at the airport who would be the one to deal with a situation anyway and I think it would be acted on faster than the online reporting system
