SW has stopped enforcing its rules a few years ago, and it is no longer pleasurable, nor economically useful to fly Southwest. Where I generally fly out, with a little planning, Delta and American can be equal in price. It is a huge turnoff upon boarding to see the one faker with an entourage preboard.

My son was just boarding his delayed flight from Dallas, TX to to return to his Navy air station in San Diego. Him and another service member neither in uniform, went to board when military was called after priority boarding. The service member in front of him clearly white, showed his military ID and ticket was scanned and he was allowed to board. My son right behind him , who is half white half Hispanic has dark hair showed his military ID and the attendant told him he could not board and needed to return to B 42 position to wait to board. I have never heard of such utter disrespect for our service members , but also the utter display of prejudice that occurred . I am appalled at the gate attendants hatred and disrespect. attendant was at Gate 2 Dallas Lovefield airport Dallas to San Diego departure at 10:25 (delayed) originally supposed to depart at 10:05 12/29/22. I want answers!!!

@krafty81 points post a few days after your statement closes and has nothing to do with when payments are made.

Obviously the OP knows that a ton of people love SWA but it does't work for him and his group and their policies (idiotic in his opinion) have cost them 700K annually. SWA should know this - and now they do. I'm skeptical that if this group has been traveling in the past that they don't already have go-to airlines, so it wouldn't be accurate to say all of their travel was in play necessarily - anyway, the policies that "cost" $700k in this case have earned Southwest much more from the many customers ( >120 million annually) that have embraced their way of doing business. That said they would always hope for a few more, and setting up this community is one path to help people new to the airline or infrequent travelers to gain a comfort level and become repeat customers. The OP didn't seem to be very interested in adapting to the system or learning any alternate approaches though - why did he post here if not to get some sort of feedback or audience?

Unfortunately, all planes do not have wifi anymore. That plateau was reached (and much touted) some time ago. Then a 2nd internet service provider was brought in, but then that basically fell apart, leaving some planes now without wifi at all, and some with the hardware installed but unable to actually use it (until it's replaced with new hardware from the old provider). It's kind of a mess, really. 😞 More info: Exclusive: Southwest Airlines and Panasonic Avionics part ways

You can also use sealed, frozen ice packs, the kind you would take camping. Just be mindful of the overall cooler weight, gotta be under 50lbs. I've packed meat and ice packs in a suitcase and had no problems, albeit on a fairly short flight with cooler weather. --TheMiddleSeat

There's been no official adoption of the previously tested Companion boarding policy as of yet. To be clear, this applied only when the 2nd passenger was the named Companion of the primary passenger, who was the Companion Pass holder.

This happened to me as well. I paid to be in the A group. Why couldn't he do it as well? On top of that, three A listers had to leave there front row seat so El Cheapo could be with his daughter.

No solid information is available. Southwest has announced their intention to begin selling tickets to Hawaii in 2018, but is still waiting for government approval. There are a few other hurdles they have to clear as well. The most likely scenario is tickets on sale late this year, flights beginning sometime in 2019.

Assuming this actually happened as reported (which is a big assumprion), there are some possible reasons... he could have been a through passenger that deboarded for some reason, or on a Business Select fare but didn't get an A1-15 position because of the infamous Southwest "glitch," or a Upgraded Boarding passenger on a flight with no BS ones, for example.
