Southwest Airlines Community

I am currently a member of the us air force, my wife and I flew out of san antonio airport (military city usa) to chi midway on veterans day. No announcements were made made for the men and women of the military to priority board on my flight nor was there a message to to deplane first upon arrival at midway airport. I also noticed on the drink card southwest was giving out a free drinks to anyone flying on thanksgiving, did southwest every think of doing this for those serving or have served on veterans day? ...

I love SW airlines and have posted about the great service and PEANUTS many times. I was surprised to find out that SW charges 50- in addition to fare for a young man 10 yrs old to fly a nonstop. Last flght I was on had 8 kids. OK I love kids so no prob there, but 1 person looked after these kids meaning putting them in their seat, giving them peanuts and drink and the most interaction was getting the ID at both ends. So 400- for that. We want to see our grandkids SW! This is to much! The tks are hgiher because their end school so need to do wkend. The price should go down as they need less care. 50- each to high! Help the grandparents and parents out. We fly your airlines because we enjoy the service! ... View more

Nice blog, Chelsea. I'm glad your experience thus far has been an exceptional one. We all wish that for you. However, I have to disagree with you on one small detail. I lived in Texas for a year when I was very young ('cause now I'm very old!), and I hated it. I don't much care for Texas. When we would drive to Bama to visit you guys, we would drive through the smallest part (on I-40) to avoid spending much time there at all. I'm sure parts of Texas are beautiful, as are any state, but my experience doesn't make me want to go back anytime soon. Now, if you get the chance, do check out the 6th Floor Book Depository Museum. That was pretty interesting! Keep having fun and sharing your thoughts. I enjoy reading them! Love you bunches! ... View more
