It's still baffling that there's airlines where you don't have an assigned seat as you walk down the jetway.
Amex sends me offers every day. I might finally look at them. But amazons points are insane. They just give me so much free stuff. It's absurd.
If you'd like to be fucked less, pls transfer those 700k delta points to me. Then the devaluation will never effect you
no but it was especially bad today. The whole ticketing level was packed shoulder to shoulder. All of the lines blended and navigating a double stroller was impossible.
I love connecting and airport lounges/bars. amazing people watching swa was the last airline to serve peanuts and my wife is allergic so we would report it in advance so they wouldn’t serve nuts. this was for whatever reason considered a medical condition that gave her a preboarding pass. there would be so much peanut dust on the planes she’d still have a reaction anyway (this is actually what started my personal rage at swa many years ago)
hotels too, best bet is to just spend the points right away and not bank them imo. they all sell points to credit card issuers for the cash infusion then make the points less valuable a year later. it’s a nice little scam they have going
I’ve had a southwest flight get cancelled on Tuesday, someone puke on a United flight to Dallas this morning which delayed our departure and made our American connection to Turks and Caicos pretty close… until that was delayed. Then we all finally board and one of the bathrooms won’t shut and so we all had to deplane and now they’re searching for a new plane. This is fun. “as the plane crashed down he thought well isn’t this nice”
It obviously doesn’t have anything to do with HIPAA but an airline can’t request documentation or even specifically what disability you have. It’s a violation of the Air Carrier Access Act.
Late to the conversation but I don’t understand this. I’ve always thought DFW would be an abysmal airport for connecting passengers due to the layout and relative lack of restaurants (which has improved a lot since the terminal remodels) but it’s great as a home airport. Three checkpoints per terminal means you are never far from your gate. I fly out of there at least twice a month and aim to arrive 50 minutes before my flight departs. 90% of the time it takes me less than 10 minutes to go from Uber to gate.
I’ve never really had a problem in/out of DFW. I’ve just always assumed that the Love love came from people who lived an hour away from DFW.
havent flown SW since my plane caught on fire in 2015. breaking the streak soon for a cheap flight to nashville
Flew from LAS to DEN this AM. No delay, several empty seats on the plane. Several other flighta leaving on time also. That being said, fuck Southwest. Flew out of DEN on Monday. Only a 2 hour delay for us but everything else there was a complete clusterfuck.
This is the only thing I hate about DFW. Usually I'm leaving from a work trip and trying to leave the client ASAP. Usually in the airport for a minute. Idk if it is just C, but you have an AppleBees and absolutely nothing else. It's a struggle This is always great
I’ve been at DFW for 7 hours. Was supposed to originally leave 6 hours ago. Bathroom door issue led to change planes, then pilots timed out, got new pilots and now it’s maintenance. American can suck my white ass. They gave us all a $12 meal voucher a few minutes ago. I’m now at TGI Fridays and it doesn’t cover my Long Island iced tea. Or the second one I’m going to get.
I once got an $8.50 meal voucher from American for a 7 hr delay that didn’t even cover the first beer.
San Diego airport was on the emptier side this morning. I assume that’s because it has heavy Southwest activity and most of them we’re canceled.
There should be a rule that if you can’t lift your carry-on into the overhead compartment, you have to check it.
it’s not bad for connections if you have time but AA loves to give you 30 min to get from D to B or whatever. I loved it when I lived there for getting in and out both nice but MSP, new LGA, SFO, all better large airports than either
God we need a thread for this trip and maybe some predictions. I'll go with re-routed mid-air, arrives in burbank by halftime, and then the return flight gets cancelled.
I think everyone flying Christmas Eve was under the impression their flights were on time until the last minute cancellations. If Southwest had done the right thing and cancelled the flights as soon as they knew they weren’t going to happen, the airports wouldn’t have been filled with people
I'm planning on using that sweet, sweet SWA dysfunction to get a dirt cheap flight from BHM to MCO in a few weeks. I think...
The flight they’re scheduled on has been one of the 30ish percent to actually go off the last two days
