I think you'd get even more if an e-mail tool was available!
I recently chose Southwest over USAir and Frontier to fly to SLC because I was fed up with reading about how many 'extra' fees were involved. Honestly, these companies are shooting themselves in the foot - do they really think nobody will pack anything and just hop on the plane? Nope; all they've done is shift all the cargo to the passenger cabin, causing extreme delay and risking passenger safety.
Not only was a Southwest ticket just nominally more (about three dollars), I got to fly out of my preferred airport - IAD - instead of driving all the way to Reagan (DCA), saving me a lot of fuel and headache. Plus, there's the added convenience of knowing that I don't have to wear several shirts to save room in my carry-on, and can actually check a piece of luggage! Who'd have imagined a year ago that this service would be considered a luxury add-on?!
Anyway, kudos to Southwest. I honestly haven't flown with you guys in years, because I do all of my comparison shopping on travel websites. The recent shift in the market has now made you guys my preferred carrier.
