Points go to the RR acount of the person who opened (owns) the account.   I don;t think their is a way to switch account ownership, so I don;t beleive there is a way to have points go to your wife's acount. ... View more

@PettyIntrigues wrote: Sorry you are feeling uncomfortable (and flying is indeed uncomfortable—I do it at least three days a week for about ten years now) but the numbers don’t lie and they don’t bear it out that SWA is anywhere near the smallest in pitch or width for domestic or international. I agree with you. Pitch on 737-800 and Max8s (over half the fleet) is 32 inches which is better than every legacy airline. Pitch on 737-700s is 31 inches - which is on a par with the legacies and a bit better on a few .   Both are far better than every one of the ULCCs ... View more

@JP66 wrote: As a customer for over 50 years, I have seen changes in the RR program. You used to fly four RT or 8 flight segment to earn a free flight to anywhere. There was no A-list BS and the Early Bird add on fee didn't exist.     And what does any of that have to do with your confusion about qualifying points?  Oh, and I'm not a 50+ year SW customer -- just a 46 year customer...   edit add: the A-List program came into existence 17 years ago. Have you been confused about how to achieve A-list for the entire 17 years? ... View more

I am truly surprised that as a Southwest customer for over 50 years, that you are confused about qualifying points.   QUALIFYING POINTS have ALWAYS ONLY been earned by flying PERIOD. When the CHase CC came along, you could earn qualifiyng points by spending money on the card (last year 1500 for speending $10k -- this year 1500 for spending $5k)   You have NEVER been able to earn  qualifing points in any othe way ...

Admittrdly it's better being inside when it is -10 outside, but what are you doing STAYING where it's -10 outside when you could take a free flight to somewhere in the carribean and be in a place where it is not -10 outside...😀 ... View more

I think you have to make payment thru the group travel office. ... View more

You can check the photo backdrop, but you might have to pay to do it. The rule is that "free" checked items should not exceed 62 inches h+l+w. Yours comes in at 65. You might get lucky, but don;t count on it. If it's in a flexible pouch, i WOULD NOT count on it not being bent. I'd go with some kind of rigid case. If you send it the way you described, SW will probsbly make you sign a wiaver tht absolves the airline from any damage the item may incur.   Re: the ring light: see what I said above obout putting it in some kind of box.   They really can't be combined as one item, at least IMO. ...

Specifically I am referring to who boards directly after them. The individuals who board between the A group and B group.  You don’t need to clarify, it was clear. A-list members without A Numbers should be in front of family boarding.  If you see a “situation” developing just work your way up to the front or jump in at “A61” and ask “A-list?” and you should be good. Actually, I did that 3-4 months ago at DEN.  The agent confirmed familes first. Next time, if there is a next time, I intend to have a quiet conversaton with the agent telling the person that he/she is not following company policy and that if he perissists that I will report him by name to the company. Then I'll ask for his name.   I have learned that employees are pretty afraid of being reported - by name. I'll share why at some point in the future. ... View more
