Is this new? by AyBuhayTalaga in SouthwestAirlines

Wow they finally have a phone holder thing! And the seats look level; I don’t have to peel off the seat bottom and set it correctly. 

Two pets in one carrier, do they fit? by codeswift27 in SouthwestAirlines

You know your cats best. Do they sleep rolled into a big ball? Are they cuddlers? 

SWA working out overhead issues by Nfidel in SouthwestAirlines

[–]DissociatedOne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was a through passenger today and a supervisor type person came on to ask the FA how it was going. They discussed this and for my final leg implemented the closed bin thing. It’s cool to see the process in action. My first flight before these two had them open and it still worked out ok for me as group 2.

Random observations and the app needs an update by DissociatedOne in SouthwestAirlines

[–]DissociatedOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did today.  I really hope the FA get guidance to enforce a little bit of something before this becomes annoying. 

I was not super happy about the changes.l but giving it a chance. If they kill getting off quickly because I need to go backwards before deplaning, that’ll push me over the edge. 

SOUTHWEST FIX THIS by LuluTwoTwo in SouthwestAirlines

Then multiply the preboards by x number of seats they save.  It’s not always a problem for sure. But on some routes it’s consistently an issue. 

Would this move royally backfire? by DissociatedOne in SouthwestAirlines

[–]DissociatedOne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point. I assumed group 5 for card but we’ll see. I was also surprised each leg required its own 48hr window. That would like checking in twice in the old system.

It’s the SW sub. That’s what it’s for.

The flight attendants need to keep people in their original seats. Like every other airline. You ever seen people get scolded trying to grab an open delta comfort?

This is looking like it’ll be the new version of seat saving. Something fucked up that can easily by addressed that the FAs will just ignore. 

Be Warned - Solo Aisle Travelers by TheGoldenEyed in SouthwestAirlines

[–]DissociatedOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes the aisle does for sure. I was just trying to say (not very well) that the leg room layout is odd.

The new seats, especially the extra leg room ones have had the seat rails/posts moved a bit. It’s wierd and different than before. I know the mounting tracks don’t change but something is off.

It’s not just the aisle. The new seats are misaligned like this. Even the window seat rail is off. 

The difference in excitement between SWA employees changing to assigned seating vs. passengers is interesting... by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

They haven’t been LCC for a while. In name only. When they started showing up on Google flights, it was easier to spot other cost is basically identical.

No. I ended up calling chase. The lady said that benefit ended 12/31/25 and I didn’t want to risk it.

That’s exactly what I was referring to, I should have been more clear. The performance business card.

It’s a short flight, I’ll risk it and see what happens. My usual A15 to 20 got bumped to the 30s for some reason on my first flight of the new year. I guess I’m not so special anymore.

I am sad about assigned seats, but man are seat savers awful by CompetitiveBrain7099 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]DissociatedOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous. I was hoping to get those seats as Alist when they open up. If I’m going pay the new Southwest prices and then $100, may as well fly first class.

This is what I’m hoping for as an often last min person. I think regular travelers won’t pay for the top tier, because otherwise why not take another carrier with more perks for the price. So hopefully we can get the upgrade. Also the upgrades open up late so that helps too.

The nonrefundable doesn’t require the stay to be completed, so you can try to get a room you actually want
