If the Mavericks don't start beating above 500 teams (something they haven't done since acquring Jason Kidd), it will be the Warriors in the playoffs with their 51 wins and the Mavericks not with their 49 wins. ... View more

In my opinion pat boustead, the most likely airline that Southwest would consider getting together with would be Airtran since their fleet is closest in type to Southwest. USAir has Airbuses and that is something Southwest to this point isn't willing to take on. ... View more

ter, The top of the "Travel Tools" section of the Southwest.com website currently states that they currently plan to open August 23rd through October 30th on April 17th. Keep in mind most of the lowest fares are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. But keeping checking the Travel Tools section frequently to make sure their plans have not changed. ... View more

I understand that COS are expected to buy two reservations (a reservation for two seats) when they book a flight and if the flight is NOT full then they would be entitled to a refund of their second seat. But isn't there a way since Southwest is a open seating airline to encourage or suggest that they select either a window (the best option) or a aisle seat so that they would not be encoraching (spelling) on two seats instead of one. Just an idea especially on full flights. ... View more

My best answer for Brigitte in Ontario, is to make a note of when you Detroit plane is scheduled to leave. Example, Let's say you are scheduled to fly on April 17th and you selected Flight 195 and leaves Detroit at 8:30 AM Detroit time for Chicago-Midway and Flight 498 which leaves Chicago-Midway at 9:25 AM Chicago time for Las Vegas. At 8:30 AM Detroit time on April 16th (the day before your flight), the on-line check-in process begins for flight. Since the above example involves two flights, you will be logging in for two boarding passes. One for Flight 195 and the second for Flight 498, each flight will have two different boarding numbers. On boarding pass might say A43 and the other A28 for example. Boarding passes numbers A01 through A16 have been set aside for Business Select customers. If 7 people bought Business Select customer then A1-A07 will belong to them and A08 through A15 will be vacant. Check out this link for what will happen at the gates on the day you fly. http://www.southwest.com/help/boardingschool When you click on the black notebook it will go through the steps. Have a great trip to Las Vegas. ... View more

I couldn't find a thread that best fits the following but I looked under "Flying" and found this one to be somewhat in the ballpark. There is another great reason to feel at ease on a Southwest flight while it is in air. If for whatever reason there is a medical emergency, the flight attendants are already trained in basic first aid and CPR and have access to a service that can give them mid-air medical advice. While they couldn't save the passenger on Oct 8's flight 1937, knowing that they could gives me comfort. ... View more

Theresa, there are at least two other website that are beta-testing system that do would what "Boardfirst" did. Southwest, you may want to update how to defend your system from these "check in for you automatically 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds before your flight" sites. ... View more

To Ronald D's comment on 9/26, log in as close to 24 hours before scheduled departure and won't need to be concerned about the line at all. This airline wants to get rid of "camping" for your spots in line with the November boarding procedure while keeping the fine art of finding your seat when you see it. ... View more

A Big hats off to those of you who properly tag bags headed for either "Orange County (SNA)" or "San Diego (SAN)"! At my home airport SMF (Sacramento) to too could get messed up with Louisville (SDF). 22 departures out of 84 daily departures are either to Orange County or San Diego. And to fix this, you need to put the bags on two planes since Southwest doesn't do the very short hop from Orange County to San Diego. So to those of you in Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento with strong frequency to both Orange County and San Diego. A very big hats off to getting the SNA/SAN right!!! ...
