Southwest Airlines Community

Okay I am curious. What about cities that border multiple states like St Louis or Memphis? Is that taken into account?    Thanks Cody ... View more

Hi @KimVanderKley,   We haven't heard any other reports of this, but will certainly communicate it over to our Team for them to be on the lookout. This should not effect the ability to submit an application. However, we do recommend that Candidates keep an eye on their junk/spam box for further communication from us, regardless of the email provider they use.    ... View more

Southwest has left me speechless, which is amazing, your concern, luv , heart, and passion speaks through like no other, your simply amazing,  Southwest has capitalized on, luv and kindness, that is the southwest spirit and that is why Southwest is the best in the sky.

@cschullerwrote: I am working towards a companion pass and should have it the beginning of April.  Four of us plan on booking a trip and I'd like to start securing the booking.  I have enough points now to book all 4 of us, but wondering if it's better to just book 3 for now and hope that the extra spot is available when we get ht CP or do I book 4 and cancel one and apply the companion pass when that time comes?  Just wondered what would be the better way of doing it?   The backup plan for hoping one is available is that you'd have to fly the person separately on another flight, or all re-book - bad option!   Especially since a points booking has the points returned to your account when you cancel, so there's not much downside to holding a spot with today's prices with points.   Also, I've read that it's better to book one way tickets in the event we want to change a time/date.  Any advise as to that?   There's no financial penalty to book one-ways, along with many upsides. The downside may be to keep track of multiple confirmation numbers, but otherwise there are a lot of flexibilities, especially if you cancel or change your flights very often. ... View more

FYI, alcoholic drinks are now all $5 (beer, wine or liquor), but rumor is that the prices will increase by $1 to $2 on March 1, and use a tiered structure of $6 or $7, depending on the drink. 😞    On the upside, this makes the drink coupons you have more valuable. 😉 ... View more

Good Morning to EVERYONE!!!!! I just want to encourage everybody to stay in Faith and keep a positive attitude throughout this process!!! I know it’s stressful wanting and waiting to know what’s going on with the status of the FA positions!! But the crew members know what they doing and let’s just keep a positive mind. Honestly I’m anxious to get some type of information to the next step!! But patience is a virtue!! Thanks and have a great day!!!  S.Buggs ... View more

@travelgal59   Ditto...  Although my extended international travels are in May...to my knowledge the 'icims' FA portal does not give an indication or update of out going communication at this time.  I encourage you to continue to check e-mail ( my inbox can be monitored by a family member who could txt me or reach the tour/hotel to contact me  ASAP night or day) as well as the community posts.     All in the SPIRT of a SWA FA   Best of Luck- FA Class of 2018 -- Hope to meet you and ENJOY the world travel!     ...

Hi @rharrington,   You will have multiple dashboards for each "portal" that you have expressed interest in. If one portal is saying the submission is received, then you are likely good to go! For more troubleshooting tips, you can check here. Best of luck!   ... View more
