Southwest Airlines Community

MY wife and I have flown southwest from Indinapolis Ind.to Las Vegas twice a year for quite a few years. We have always been well satisified with Southwest. The "cattle call" type boarding was getting to be a hassle when you get into your late 60'S. Our experience this Dec with the new boarding procedure at Indy was GREAT. I watched a earlier flight board at our gate and the gate agent announced numerous times how the boarding was to be done. Two men decided that they would board with the A's when one of them had a high B and the othe had a C. The agent told both of them to wait their turn, she have to tell one of them twice because he kept trying to jump ahead in the line. After the plane was boarded I went ot her supervisor and told them what a great job that the gate agent did, and was told to pass it on to the agent. She said thanks this is what the policy is and I and trying to do it right but it can get a big hassle if you let the people push you around. Flew out of Las Vegas Dec 16 our boarding passes were A26 and A27 There were people with B and C boarding passes in the A1 to A25 lines, I questioned the boarding agent about this and his reply was so what do you want me to do about it , I replied just enforce the boarding policy, his response it not worth the hassle. Like the new boarding GREAT GREAT If others don't like it let them fly with anothe airline and the one's of us that do we will be able to get all the A boarding numbers. Just try to get all boarding agents like the one in Indinapolis who had the GUT'S to tell people trying to jump ahead go back and wait your turn like everyone else , then if they do, then their supervisers have to have the GUTS to back them up. GREAT job SOUTHWEST love the new boarding ... View more
