Southwest Airlines Community

Afternoon. Found this thread when researching which airlines will protect my health by following the basic science of viral transmission that we've had locked down for something near a hundred years now.   I was getting a kick from the plandemic people in the thread with their hilarious accusations that masks don't work or that the virus isn't real. Let me guess folks, the earth is flat and the moon landing was faked? 😂 They're spying on us with the five gee?? 🤣   Never fails to make me laugh when people are *proud* of their ignorance.   Anyway, masks do work:   https://www.nature.com/articles   https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449/d41586-020-02801-8   If you simply *must* continue to be ignorant on purpose about it, well shoot you know you're right, right? So you should have no problem saying so with your full name and face attached, right? Come on, I bet your employer would love to hear how much smarter you are than every virologist in the world 🙂 what are you, chicken? 🐔🐔     ... View more

Personally, I wish SWA required everybody to wear both a mouth and nose mask as well as a face shield.   ... View more

As posted on another thread:   Wearing an N95 mask with a valve doesn't do much to protect those around you, as it permits droplet release, negating the whole point of wearing a mask. I was wondering why it took so long to ban them...   I have to wear N95 masks (I'm immunocompromised).  I simply wear a disposable surgical or cloth mask over it.  Double-masked!  I'm protected and I'm protecting those around me.   No one knows I have the N95 on...they just think I'm overly concerned about contracting COVID.   ...

If we talk about luck or failure, you need to remember that there is such a thing as soul purpose. I don’t think your flight is 100% late. Sometimes everything goes in such a way that a small delay on the contrary becomes a safer way. I take it this way. I will not cite famous films as an example, but if the flight was delayed, I am ready to take it for granted. ... View more

I love the response that anything under a 5 hour delay is good and all airlines have delays.....that doesn't "fly" with me....perhaps they can use covid as an excuse but every leg of my round trip flight has been delayed  and no.....this is NOT happening on all airlines......just eventually getting me to my destination isn't  good enough .....flying half the day with SW ain't cutting it.... ...

But the example is good - if your question is "i want a refund" then the answer on this community is Contact Customer Relations - we are flyers like yourself and don't have any power or access over your Southwest account - just advice.     ...

Sorry to hear your flight was delayed 30min and that you had to wait when you arrived because you're gate was occupied. Airlines only have so many gates at airports so unfortunately any delays in the day can cause backups for gates. Personally 30min is nothing for a delay these days as there are much longer with some other airlines    You can Contact Customer Relations to share your feedback on the missed connection and masks not being enforced and they can document the issue and they can look in to everything to see if any goodwill gesture could be offered.    -Blake  ...
