I'd be curious if the mandate ended in March (or whenever it ends) which airlines would still require them.  ... View more

At least she made the cruise right?    I'd arrive at least a day before in case a flight issue were to happen (delay, cancellation, delayed bag)    Also if I'm going on a cruise I would carry a bag on because bags do get lost and I wouldn't want to wear the same outfit everyday on a cruise    As suggested you can reach out to Southwest via the contact us link or you can use the website on your delayed bag report.    -Blake  ...

My first guess is extra points  My second guess is an extra bag (in case 2 free isn't enough) maybe priority bag delivery would become a thing?  Maybe EB check in included in some fashion (if that happened they would have to add that to the anytime fare as well)    I just hope they don't end up taking benefits away or make it harder for A List folks to use benefits if they do add some form of auto check in perk or same day standby perk or any perk for that matter.    I'm also curious how much higher that price will be from wanna get away to new fare cat. Compared to anytime    -Blake ... View more

LUV seeing more Southwest flights in AUS and interesting to watch SW and American go crazy in Austin.   ... View more

You will earn Rapid Rewards points and the flight will count towards A List and companion pass    Just another note keep in mind with LUV vouchers they don’t cover taxes so you will still have to pay a little bit on a Credit card or use a travel fund and the travel fund will cover taxes. Also note If you pay the taxes with a credit card the funds will keep the expiration date of the voucher should you have to cancel later. if you apply a travel fund the earlier expiration date between the travel fund or voucher will apply.  -Blake  ...

From time to time schedule changes happen and unfortunately sometimes those changes make it where you can't connect to get to your final destination and you will see that no flights exist when they still might exist you just might have to stay overnight somewhere else first.    One example I am flying to NAS in January but SW only flies from BWI and FLL on the day I want to go but the flights depart those cities before I could arrive from SAT so I would need to fly to another city the night before so I can get to NAS    I would look and see what city they fly to on the date you need and book 2 one ways or you could look in to other airlines if those options won't work for you. **Remember if the airline changed your flight and you don't like the new flight you can request a full refund to your original method of payment.**   -Blake ...

Once you click book a confirmation number should have followed if you didn't get a confirmation number your reservation was most likely not confirmed. If the charge is pending it would probably fall off in a few days if the charge posts then you should reach out to customer relations on Southwest.com or you can send a message on Facebook or Twitter and hopefully they can fugue out what happened.  ...

For the companion pass Southwest gave everyone a boost towards earning the companion pass and A List status this year i don't expect any more extensions because otherwise it would never end because next year some will say I couldn't use my pass in 2022 because this or that so since planes are full now I think they are done with extensions.      ...

Are any of your reservations point to point also known as multi city (A-B-C instead of A-B-A)? If so I have seen the pricing error when certain fare classes can't be combined    Also be sure if you are changing the date that your funds are still valid since funds expire a year from when you booked or the earliest expiration date of any travel funds applied (whichever date is sooner)    -Blake ...

@williamh     Do you have any suggestions because I know missing out would not be fun.  ... View more

While in normal situations EB is non refundable when I earned A List years a go for the first time they issued me a LUV voucher for the value of the EB so you could request that if they can't refund the fee to the card.  ... View more

Well if you have flown 0 flights so far this year you only need 15 so if you take a RT a week for the rest of the year you can keep your status. Might need 2 one week but with some of the $49 fares out there it wouldn't be too expensive or as others mentioned you could buy EB check in to help try and avoid C passes next year until you re earn the A List status.    For me it looks like I will be 2 short of A List preferred so this weekend I'm taking a day trip to earn the ALP $39 each way    -Blake ...

My flight last week had just the 5 choices. I wish Dr Pepper would come back someday.    My next flight is Saturday so I'll be interested to see the new choices.  ... View more

If you have gmail I would check the promotion and social folders in case emails were routed to the wrong place you can also check the spam folder.    If your dashboard still says in process then your are still in the running for the job.    Good Luck!   -Blake ... View more

You could try reaching out to your old boss if they still work for Southwest and maybe they can put in a good word for you or maybe find out why you are being rejected.    In the meantime don't give up keep trying.    -Blake  ... View more

For the disney tickets You would need to link your tickets in the Disney app. If your going to disney world (in Florida) it's the my disney experience app and once linked you can use Disney genie to help you with your day at the park. If you are going to Disney World and need help a couple of us here can help as well with tips. Keep in mind for both Disney parks you need a park reservation which you can make after you link your tickets to the Disney app.    There is not a way or really even a reason to link your Disney/universal tickets to SW because they are different companies. SW vacations (which is not actually Southwest) might sell a package including tickets but once you get those tickets you would deal with the individual business (Disney and universal in your case)    -Blake ...

What issue are you having with the discussion board?  ... View more

Sorry your phone was stolen. You could log in to your careers dashboard on a computer to continue the process.    -Blake ... View more

Sorry to hear of your issue.    I would reach out to Southwest by clicking on the contact us link at the bottom of this page and someone from customer relations can investigate.    You could ask when they processed the refund and to what card and look back at your statement as you may have actually gotten the refund and just overlooked it. We are all human and miss things from time to time. If you didn't get the refund maybe you can send customer relations a screenshot of proof.    My guess is your funds were held as travel funds and not a refund.    -Blake ... View more

There is a giveaway going on however I'm not sure if winners are being selected daily or at the end of the entry period. Normally winners are selected after the contest closes.    What is the email address that told you that you won? I would look at that and look for weird spellings of southwest in the email. You could also send a screenshot of the email to southwest on Facebook or Twitter for verification as it's better to be safe than sorry.    -Blake  ... View more

I feel your pain I've had lots of flight delays/cancellations this month myself the best thing you can do is send southwest an email by clicking contact us at the bottom of this page and maybe they can offer a voucher to make up for l the delays lately.    -Blake  ... View more
