If the wi-fi is not functional above 10,000 feet, request a full refund. I do and I do.

Thank you for this information. This is, yet another, pearl of wisdom that can only come from this message board.
Again, thank you for your contribution.

No one lives there and it is all farm country. Thus, the reason for very little airline activity.
Years ago I was offered a position with a company based in Lincoln NE and I said NO.

What is the point of involving a third party in your purchase? Simply pay Southwest for the flight and you're done.

There are posts on this subject going back to 2006. Until the Federal law changes, nothing will change.
As stated previously, this subject needs its own category due to the traffic generated.

I am not a Southwest employee but are a shareholder. I agree with the first response that Southwest cannot dedicate resources to looking for your item. If it turns up, they have a process to collect and route the item.
Your argument is similar to someone who runs off the road, ends up in the ditch, then blames whomever cut the ditch. The core issue would be that you lost control of your vehicle. In this case, you left your items behind.
Next time be more careful.

I really appreciate the advice. Even though the system shows "nonstop" flights, when I chose my travel dates in January 2024 none appeared. On the way out, I go though Austin TX and on the way back, I go through Phoenix AZ.
Looks like the Richard Nixon Library and Museum is within 30 minutes of the airport and the hotel that I am staying is about 4 miles from the Museum.
Many thanks for the advice. I'm looking forward to the trip.

I beg your pardon, but this has nothing to do with Southwest.
YOU LEFT YOUR PERSONAL BELONGING BEHIND.
It is not the responsibility of Southwest, its shareholders or employees to keep up with your personal items left behind on the plane. Next time, I would suggest that you take better care of your items.
This is not a failure of Southwest on any level.

I am of the view that if the event is truly traumatic, then file a lawsuit. You will have to decide where jurisdiction is for the event since the trauma didn't occur when you bought the ticket, but sometime after the flight left the runway.

Obsolete. You can read online and save all of the costs and resources of the paper.
I would be TOTALLY against a use of resources to publish a magazine on paper in this day and age.

EBCI also falls directly to Southwest's bottom line and does not provide any value, in my view.
If you have such high boarding positions after using the service, I'd suggest requesting a refund for the cost thereof.

Many thanks for the advice. I am definitely going to go through SNA as suggested. Yes, it is a lot closer.

This is another example of someone not doing their job. If you are a mortgage broker, you should know better.
Just like in our neighborhood which is managed through an HOA. We do not allow "for sale" or "for rent" signs, PERIOD!
I submitted a proposal that when we see these, we remove them and bill the homeowner a $1,000 removal fee and let them get reimbursed by the realtor who should have known better.

I am totally against dragging items on the plane that could be checked. All we are doing is adding to the cost of air travel because it takes longer and longer to board the plane and get underway.
The fight for overhead bin space has hit epic levels. If you carry a laptop or small carry on then that's fine. Luggage and oversized items are ruining everyone's air travel experience.
I've been watching Southwest gate agents call out the oversized and over count items recently. I am glad and yes, it is about time!
It is always something. Yesterday it was a mountain bike, today it is a Santa suit, tomorrow a riding lawn mower and the day after, your daddy's toolbox.

I used the tool you suggested and even though it does show a nonstop flight, none come up when I choose my travel dates.

Back in the day, what you are describing was handled by a travel agency. This was due to a lack of Internet and calling the airlines or using published schedules. All of those were time consuming.
Today, planning the trip can be done inside of 30 minutes for air, hotel and vehicle.
An organization large enough to need this probably does this inhouse.

I believe that both of us supported the user's original comment.
Yes, with more competition the price goes down. Yes, we celebrate that observation and both are raising our glasses in toast!
It was great insight. Not sure what your concern is, however, we both supported the OP.

I am planning to visit the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in February of next year. I've flown to Phoenix AZ before on Southwest but not farther west.
I'm looking for advice on which airport would be the best to fly into. Southwest offers several options near Yorba Linda and I'd appreciate any feedback. I do not see any nonstop flights from MCO.

If you gotta go, you gotta go. FAA officials and employees can wet their own pants if they want to but I understand and agree with your concerns.
Southwest should compensate you for the situation. Maybe next time their people will behave in a more professional manner.

Yes, happened to me too. The flight that I was planning in January no longer exists so I was switched to an earlier flight. I can make the change two times (without an additional cost). That's what is meant by "two times".
You can actually change it over and over and over again right up to 10 minutes before the flight. However, as has always been the case, you get the difference in price when you make the change, positive or negative.

We just went through this on another airline when visiting Anguilla. No matter what the limit, someone always wants to push the envelope. This particular character got an oversized bag on board and shoved it into the overhead bin to the point that the fiberglass framing was bowed.
The door wouldn't close. They advised him to reduce the size of the bag or have it checked.
The best solution would have been to toss the bag off the plane and advise the passenger to pick it up off the tarmac on his next trip.
I have proposed that all baggage be screened by TSA for size and rejected at the TSA screening and send the person back to have it checked, then re-enter TSA screening. With rules like that no one will push the envelope.

Your accounting of preboards is not reliable data. Only Southwest can give an accounting, by gate, by day of week, by hour of day, etc. for that kind of reporting.
Instead of logging information on less than 1/10ths of one percent of the flights in any given day, simply ask Southwest for the data.
Your method, while of interest to you, is like me looking out my office window and giving weather reports for the entire state of Florida.
Preboard!

Why bother to document this data? Whether there are zero or 150, nothing will change until Federal law does. I would be in favor of a medical certificate to preboard, like you have for parking in a handicap parking place.
The truth is that any doctor will sign off on a document allowing you a permit. I would imagine that a cottage industry would grow for preboarding passes by doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. $49 for an "evaluation" and you walk out with a preboarding pass.
My advice to this non-stop subject is to create its own category or simply keep the rants going until time itself comes to an end.

It is a trick question. You say that you need to preboard and the gate agent responds asking if you need extra time. If you say yes, then you are between A and B boarding groups.
Remember - you have the right to preboard if you self-declare with a disability. Simply refuse to respond to the question about extra time and repeat over and over that you need to preboard.

Ask for it at the gate or when you check in your luggage. Indicate that you need to preboard and DO NOT respond to the question about needing extra time. Simply indicate that you need to preboard.
