Airlines have choices as to what aircraft they fly, if Boeing can't deliver then look at Airbus.
Ahhh, the problem with that is the backlog with Airbus A320 and A321 models is such that if Southwest were to place an order today, it might get new planes in about 4 years.

no one will quibble about an inch.
If it fits under the seat, you are good to go.

Book the flights for 2 now.
Book the companion flight now, too. It'll be a place holder until you can add the person as your companion. Cancel it on the day your pass becomes active. Maybe do it with a SW rep over the phone if seats are tight. Book it as a points, or Anytime, ticket and it is fully refundable. A WGA pr WGA+ would result in a flight credit

Doesn't cost those points. Those are the points you receive from buying blue apron or whatever else via their links. So instead of earning 2600 RR points on blue apron, you earn 3800. It's a good thing, not a cost thing.
Huh?
You are not on Reddit.

I had not thought about it until I saw your post, but does seem a bit strange that the community goes belly up[ concurrent with SW's announced changes taking shape.;
Maybe you did get one post right in your time on the community after all.

TSA is doing some weird stuff. I'm TSA Pre and CLear I fly a lot so TSA should know me pretty well. I am not dangerous in any way.
I had a flight yesterday, and I was "randomly" selected to have to show my DL. Then I was selected to go thru the body scanner after the magnetic scanner beeped me. THEN TSA said they needed to check my PHONE? I asked why? The response was to check for explosive residue.
I've had TSA check my bags for residue in the past, but never my PHONE.

Rapids Rewards shopping is running a deal thru 9/18. Spend $350 thru RR shopping and earn 2000 bonus RR points.

The irony is that the deal will be active longer than this post will be.

Sorry to hear that this happened to you.,
Several things could have happened:
1) If there were lots of other passengers who booked connecting flights, then they would have been checked in 24 hours before their first flight - which might have been hours before you could do so
2) Then there are all those people that bought Early Bird Check In
3) Then there were all those A-List and A-List Preferred people and others with them
4) And if you were just a minute or two late, those that beat you to hitting the check in button

I'd encourage you to wait to see what the changes actually mean, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Being a Community Champion has been rewarding and fun. I will miss the community.
May your future Southwest flights be cancellation free, with minimal delays, and little turbulence.

If you are talking about a flight with a connection, I am afraid there is no way to do what you want to do. The flight was booked from city A to city C with a stop in city B, and there is no way to change that..

No, TSA will not anyone enter an airport with more than a collection of 3.5 ounce (max) bottles.
You can probably l get a FA to give you a cup of hot water and a cup of cold water which you could then try to mix to get the correct temp.,

There are lots of open seating lovers.
The question is will SW earn more from those wanting reserved seating versus those that leave at least some of the time.

Lots of people have talked about getting auto rejects. Most of the time it has nothing to do with qualifications.
Seach this community for the terms "auto reject" or "instant reject" for insight about how you might have gone wrong.

I guess you are a VERY infrequent traveler since SW stopped serving peanuts -- maybe 5 years ago

IMO Southwest will implement assigned seating with a future schedule release.
That means you'll be able to use your upgraded boardings, as you have in the past, for at least the next 8 months.
Chill.

Hi SoCalFlyer. Thanks for the response.
I've disabled all extensions and the problem persists. Same when I try incognito.
I suspect a cookies problem with my SW cookies. The problem is I don't want to delete all cookies and I can't figure out how to delete just the SW cookies.
Again, other browsers work fine. On the chromebook the only browser that doesn't want to act like a phone or tablet is Opera, so I can use that one instead.
I suspect that Google is the source of the problem as it syncs data across machines. So a problem on one machine might transfer to a second one.

I thought it might just e a cookie problem on my chromebook, but it is now showing up on another computer. Using Chrome on the windows machine, too. I can't believe a chrome error on one machine would affect a different machine.
When I try to use it I get ""sorry we found some errors - we are unable to process your request"
Other browsers seem to work, but I'm somewhat limited on the Chromebook.

Hi SoCalFlyer.
I've been present on the SouthwestAirlines subreddit for a few years. By my experience, my best way of making a contribution is with new posts. So I pick the new posts option and go from there. I try to make a good reply that gets enough up votes that it shows up near the top of the reply list.
I typically avoid posts that already have a bunch of replies - too much noise.
I'll have to check out FlyerTalk

If he is going to cancel his existing flight, he will first need to cancel the companion ticket ited to it.
Then he should cancel his flight,
Then he should register for the new CP promotion.
Then he should buy a new ticket.
Then he should add a companion to that ticket.
and all will be good

Vouchers used to buy tickets that are then canceled will result in travel funds that do not expire.
