I have an iPad 9 and could not watch TV or Movies 2 days ago, or back in February when I flew. Before that, I had no problem. What is going on? Very Frustrating.
I can open the App/site, choose a movie and nothing happens; same on TV.

I had the same issue coming home from DEN last year.... Was a time when the bag belts were broken and didn't want to argue the point too much. Paid the $50 for the extra boot bag. Explained I came from AUS with same bags; no charge. All that was in one bag was skis and poles. The other boots, helmet and gloves...(Boot size soft bag) YMMV

Welcome to the group Joe and with a very + message to start! Thx. Pls send it along to SWA in the contact us tab at the bottom of the SWA page. Maybe they will bring back the "Operation Kick Tail" Campaign.

I just had the exact same thing happen to me, I had a bunch of COVID related flight credits sitting on my account. I am certain I was told they didn't expire at the time (unlike United and American). I just went to cash in and got the same error message. I called and the representative told me they only just changed the policy on 07/28/2022 so I am out of luck on $1500 worth of credits.

Great question @scottandrew1973 ! As others have mentioned, the program was halted. That said, as an Employee myself, receiving a KickTail is still a very meaningful thing so if you have them I'd encourage you to still hand them out.
I'll definitely pass this feedback along to the appropriate stakeholders; I love to see our Customers wanting to recognize our Employees. I appreciate it!

Here’s how I would like Southwest to start competing with Alaska: by flying to Alaska. Everything else works well for me.
Are there gates available at the most likely airport(s)?
My guess is the challenge would be without having a hub and spoke model that there are too many Alaskans coming from various areas to the main airport and connecting to the mainland where Southwest won't have capacity to serve the smaller feeder airports, therefore people will be pre-disposed to take whatever Alaska offers to get started and then stick with it for their trip to the mainland.
I would think that DEN would be the most likely candidate, and with the addition of 24 new gates, DEN is projected to have 500+ SW flights/day soon. That sounds pretty hub and spokey to me
Within Alaska, Anchorage would work for daily departures. The other cities are much too small for daily flights. Juneau and Fairbanks might get a few flights a week. IMO, that's it.

I'm currently on a flight utilizing a 737-800 Max which has TV and Fox is an option. The fly in the ointment will be if the equipment you are scheduled to fly on Super Bowl Sunday will the system be working? My experience of late is other than on a Max it is hit or miss whether the entertainment let alone the internet works as they are in the process of upgrading the fleet. YMMV.

@tenaciouss I've booked over 100 rooms through the SWA hotel (booking.com) process and have to say only once did I have any issue. That once was my fault for not seeing no cancelation, however, I still got it cancelled by going through the process of contacting booking.com and working with the hotel. In the end, it's up to the hotel to force you to keep the room, or courteously cancel it. With all that said, I know that it's often cheaper by direct contact with the hotel, but you get no SWA points. I've had a companion pass for the past 6 years primarily due to the fact I use the SWA link to bookings and get on some stays up to 8,000 SWA points. Getting something, I need any way, a hotel room, and paying a bit more than rack price that helps me get companion, Priceless. To end this, no I've not had any issues with SWA and booking.com on any of the hundreds of bookings I've made.

Thanks M.S. I see where it can be cancelled before flight. Since it's after the scheduled flight time it shows that it's been modified and have to go through the "change channels"
I booked a flight for us on Wednesday and see where I can cancel it there; but I think it's the best soonest for 2. I'll call and see what they can do on their end "behind the scenes" to get me out on Tuesday. Denver has been a real mess to say the least and the rumors are flying on why there are issues here.

I had a very rough flight back in the early 2000s and it bothered me for several years. There was a few years there that I didn't fly. The turbulence was so bad that I nearly hit my head on the roof the the aircraft (commuter plane).
I started sitting at the front of the plane and keeping my seat belt tight. Over time, I got used to the occasional turbulence and now it doesn't bother me.
Know that the severe turbulence that I am describing, and you are seeing on those videos, is probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Aircraft disabled from turbulence is also a very, very rare event.
Hope this helps.

I had a bad experience booking with Southwest Vacations and ended up getting about $450 back as compensation.
Make no mistake, this company is not Southwest but I wrote to Southwest's CEO several times and finally got results.
Never will I book with them again, even if they pay me for the vacation. You can do better booking things on your own.

My understanding is that the offer you applied for when you signed up for the card is what is applicable for your to earn/redeem, not any future offers, BUT it doesn't always hurt to ask, especially if you spend the 3K in 3 months!
Thanks,

Assuming Dec is your only flight or return flight, yes it posts immediately. If Dec 27 was your outgoing flight and Jan 1 or later was your return flight, however, the points would not post until the return flight completes, assuming they are on the same reservation.

Nodda, this is why I continue to encourage folks to periodically go in and check their SWA account and other information even if they aren't scheduled to fly soon. I'm guessing I see this exact same post about credits expiring and can't use them 20 times a year in this forum.

Thank you so much oh on the return flight I pay for check bags again?
You aren't obligated to bring the same luggage with you each way so yes, you'd pay if necessary due to quantity of bags > 2, over 50 lbs, or oversized for each one-way separately.

If you're just using Slack, the connection *should* be adequate given that there are no major disruptions in service.
Connection is intermittent but this should not have a significant impact when using applications like Slack.
If you're ever dissatisfied with your inflight wifi purchase, let Customer Service know and they would be happy to make it right!
I think that it's worth a shot - try out the wifi and see how you like it!
Safe travels!

@bwallet- thanks for posting this. I'm just now reading it and it's a good reminder for all of us. I stored these with my drink tickets and just re-discovered them. I was just reminding myself to make the effort to use them (the kick tail awards, not just the drink tickets LOL) . Yes, hoping SWA will send more out.

I can confirm that the "lounge" seats existed in the years AFTER 9/11 and was installed in then-new -700 series aircraft in the old brown/orange/red checkered cloth seats.
I know I was on several in the mid-2000s.
You are right. The pic was taken in Orlando in 2003, so Southwest was using the configuration at least thru 2003.

Apparently there is a safe travels desk at LAX in the concourse where to get a wristband; I believe today it was gate 7. We went to our gate (18a) 15 mins before boarding as we were eating and missed any announcements to go to that gate for a wristband. Being too late we will present out vax cards and QR codes to move on. Lesson learned I wish it was publicized in the reservation process perhaps a bit better by posting here hopefully it will help others. I will surely look for it next month as I plan to come back.

Sorry your flight was cancelled I’ve been cancelled a couple times my self it’s been a rough couple days just relax and hopefully they will get you to where you need to go soon. ATC in Jacksonville had issues and when you add that to airline crew issues it makes a big mess and unfortunately that’s what has happened. once travel is complete I would send an email to southwest and hopefully they can provide compensation for the delay. -Blake

Yes, pls reach out to WN via the contact us link. Perhaps a bit of background of what the issue/s were at the ticket counter would be helpful to the community to perhaps help us avoid the same situation? Friday night departures from KLAS can be busy to say the least.

Well lots of people got that PM, and that member was banned, so you won't receive any more from that person. I understand that the airline has tightened PM security to try to insure that the problem will not reoccur.

But it also shows that as a 30-year old I can be asystematic or full-blown sick and have no issues at all or recover nicely, yet I've been the six degrees of infection that eventually kills 10 people over 70. So why not consider that.
