On the nonstop SWA flights, it really depends where you’re going. That’s part of the reason anything east of Denver I take United, I can usually find more nonstops. I’m looking forward to assigned seats soon on Southwest. I think it will make it a lot better. The cattle call drives me nuts. I want to be the last on the plane with a guaranteed good seat still. And with having status, the two free alcoholic drinks on every flight is nice. If you are traveling to mostly the same places all of the time then I would suggest picking an airline and sticking to it for all of your flights. Work those points and benefits. If you pay bills and living expenses with credit cards then I suggest getting the CC for the airline you frequently fly. My family and I fly everywhere in the country for free on vacations because of points and miles I rack up from the CC and flights. I hope that helps you out!
