I recommend you go to Chase, and read the fine print, (Download or screenshot it too.) The best advise here is still just advice and I would not want to steer you wrong.

It really depends if you clear customs at your origin outside of the US. If you do then you should be good. If you have to go through customs on arrival at the connection then NO.

This is a shot in the dark but sometimes for some reason if you used the same email address in booking, that causes snafu's for different named persons because the email address is somehow used as the identifier for the reservation #

Sorry to hear about your troubles, this is a customer to customer forum. I offer you some advice. If you travel by air, book flights in the morning, fly direct, and fly from a "Hub" airport. Hub meaning that a particular airline has multiple flights through out any particular day. I live close to a regional airport but ALWAYS drive to the nearest major airport for personal and business trips. Why? Because it is important to me to be prepared for the unexpected. Good luck in the future

Might be worth trying to edit the reservation online, (I would recommend working from a laptop not the mobile app it would be easier to navigate), I am assuming you have multiple parties on one reservation.

From a customer stand point I believe you have many good points, but the rest of the airlines are in the same boat. Delays, cancellations, long waits on hold, etc... are the standard order of business in today's travel world. All that being said, there are some very simple rules I live by for flying for business or pleasure. 1.) Fly direct non-stop, 2.) if possible fly in the morning. Why? non-stops are a no-brainer, especially when traveling for pleasure. connections, delays, bags etc... (I fly SW mainly because at BWI it gives me the ability to go almost anywhere I need to travel directly, except Canada.) Morning flights that have issues allow for more hours and other flight options to get me where I need to go, the later the hour on any given day the more likely you will be SOL.

Perhaps you could purchase the the business select upgrade for boarding in the A1 to A15 slots for part of the family, go to seats in the rear of the plane and have the other parent and 2 year old board during family boarding? This will insure you can sit together. As far as being family friendly SW is always very accommodating to families, but Rules are just that rules.

Agreed, when you apply for the card you provide the RR# number. It is typically pretty seamless. Check with Chase hoping your points have not been deposited in some else's RR account! If it's just a different RR account it is easy to combine accounts

I feel your frustration. Having been late to the gate myself, (boarding starts 30 minutes before departure), I have had to own and take personal responsibility for my tardiness. It appears you cut it too close since you reference the 10 minute time frame.

If you want to get RR points for the rental make sure you are a member of the car rental company's "club" and direct the points to SW, I usually get a 600 RR point bump on any car rental that way

So sorry to hear this as well. My wife learned this lesson the hard way a few years ago in Beleze, Items were stolen from her luggage and there was nothing SW could do about thieves working in a foreign country's airport customs area. A good rule of thumb, If it's valuable keep it on your person or leave it at home.

I would second the other replies in general, BUT I would have a concerns about connecting flights to a small international destination, (not so much a SW issue) If your Logan to BWI flight is delayed, the flight to Aruba is going to leave without you. Given the more limited flight schedules currently in place this could mean no more flights to Aruba that day. So you lose a day in Aruba and you're angry at SW for something that may or may not have been in their control. Your mileage may vary but I would want more layover time to make sure I am at the gate in BWI, or simply fly direct out of Logan ( I believe Jet Blue does?)

Southwest did not create this rule. The rule is clear, 2 year olds must wear masks. This may sound mean, but consider an alternative method of travel from flying if your child will not follow your parental implementation of FAA rules.

Like so many folks today some people think rules apply to "others" not them or their children. I personally observed a passenger at FLL on Thursday approach the gate with their 3 plus year child with no mask. The SW gate agent asked how old the child was, 1st answer from Mom, "3 1/2 years old." The gate agent advised mom the kid must be masked because he was over 2 years old. Next statement from Mom, "actually he's under 2." The gate agent was very gracious and let mom know they weren't getting on the flight unless junior was masked. A mask was produced by Mom and the gate agent spoke with the little one in a very positive encouraging manner. Great job by the SW gate agent. I am sure since "Mom" attempted to lie her way onto the plane rather than comply with FAA rules it was a traumatic and scarring experience for her and her child....

Although I appreciate that southwest offers this add on service, my past experience with car rentals is usually more streamlined and painless by booking directly with your rental company of choice, (delegating the points to my SW account,) This method insures that I can bypass the lines at the rental counter and "GET and GO" with the vehicle of my choice with the options I need/request. Your mileage may vary

Since you are on a special promotion to get Companion Status, your progress to Companion Pass won't track the "normal" way in the app or website. If I were you I would give my self several extra days to get to the required spend, the terms and conditions on special offers may state some requirement about Posting date versus transaction date and missing the required spend by a day would be a bummer, remember Chase is a Bank not SW Good Luck

Paperwork and a pre flight interview are required to weed out the BS.

A good way to check the exact cost on international flights is to just start a reservation but don't book the flight, when you get to that last page the $$'s are all listed.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties, with 40 plus flights a year you should be an "A list" customer with access to the "A list" phone line. I've always been able to get a person on the line, most often instantly, with the exception of one time when i failed to enter the proper Rapid Rewards info to identify myself and ended up waiting for 20 minutes, when I asked the SW rep about the delay she advised me I had not "identified" myself correctly, (I put in a phone # not associated with my RR acct.) In March, I was able to to reschedule a cancelled connecting flight in about 2 minutes, the rebooked flight was in my App before I deplaned
