I understand weather as a reason. I can understand being flexible. I needed to fly to detroit and I WAS THE ONE giving options which is a problem. I suggested flying to flint, Toledo etc. With this happening, I have no choice but to be flexible but a handshake and a have a nice day doesn't support stellar customer service....especially when other airlines are flying to the same destination the same day. The best action yo preserve a reputation would to say "let's see if we can do d you a flight with another carrier." Understanding that I booked a flight on a day for a reason. I may be just one person but it doesn't make me any less important than the other people, who had the same flight, in that position. As stated, customer service will continuously hear from me via whatever options available because I refuse to believe that is fair/normal for a companing that prides itself in customer service.

I paid for a flights several weeks in advance. Destination flight was decent but when I arrived at the airport to return home, m told my flight is cancelled and I need to contact customer service to request a refund. I was stranded at Hartsfield INTNL airport at 640am on a Sunday, with no way home! The customer service rep at check in said they could refund me but to wait at least 72 hrs to see the refund and that they could book me on another flight but not until 2 days later. There was no remorse, no attempts or offers to book me thru another airline or even help cover any costs. My original round trip tickets thru southwest were $240.....because of terrible customer service and an u willingness to assist, I had to book a one way flight thru DELTA (leaving 7 hrs later) for $644!!!!!
I literally had no choice because I have to work the next day. Flew into GA to see my 8 ur old for a daddy-daughter dance and ended up being slapped by SOUTHWEST AIRLINES for something I had no control over. Called customer service, they say sorry but there's nothing they can do. Not everybody can just toss around $644 at the drop of a hat like this airline can!
Website days they think of themselves as a customer service company that happens to fly planes but I TBOROUGHLY disagree! At this point, me nor my family will be using southwest again. I'm extremely disappointed and upset at the lack of accommodation that I recieved!!!
