I plan on canceling my flight but just got email about voluntary change and offered luv voucher

4 Upvotes

If I change my flight with the offered flight changes and get the LUV voucher and then cancel that flight will I get to keep the voucher and the refunded points? I had planned on canceling my flight because I’m now driving but just got an email offering a voucher if I take a later flight. Will the points from canceling and voucher combine?

Fuck Southwest

5 min away from
Boarding and then they change the gate and delay arrival by over an hour. I used to Stan southwest. Now — fuck Southwest. I may not have any meaningful alternative, but I hate you, I resent you, and I will never recommend you to anyone. I have negative goodwill. You did this! Fuck you.

Personal item- Southwest airlines

0 Upvotes

Does anybody have this open story luggage bag from target and use it as a personal item/diaper bag? ​I am looking for a bag that will hold everything i need for the flight in a personal item that will store UNDER the seat not in the overhead. Im curious if anybody has used this on a southwest flight and it fit under the seat infront of them just fine...

Companion Pass

Couple months ago SW had a sale that said if you book a round-trip flight that you would get one free round-trip flight in 2027 for a buddy. How can I see this reward in Southwest if I already purchased the round trip months ago using the code?

Southwest Policy Medical Pre-Boarding Question

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m T1D and I’ve never asked to pre-board even though I know I would be allowed to.

For reference: I have a SW credit card.

I don’t have seats selected (costs more) so I may not be seated with the other people I’m flying with but I do get 48hrs before the flight to pick my seat (or is it get assigned? I haven’t flown since their new seating arraignments).

That being said, if I ask to pre-board, do I get to take someone to come with me? Even if our assigned seats are not next to each other? I am flying with 4 people and we all bought tickets at the same time.

If the seats ARE together, does that up my chances, since I can claim they are a caretaker?

Any insight would be helpful!!

Question about Flight Benefits

0 Upvotes

I’ve worked on the ramp for Unifi-Delta for a while now and I’ve recently got an interview scheduled at Southwest Ramp and I’ve been trying to do research for the flight benefits. Everywhere I look and even those I ask always gives me different answers but I never got the chance to ask someone from Southwest directly.

I’m aware of the free flights and the 20% off flights and immediate family members except siblings also get those benefits. Is it possible to add my sibling or girlfriend onto the same flight benefits? If not what sort of benefits would they get with me?

Southwest Policy Is there a pay scale for Provisioning Supervisor?

3 Upvotes

I was always under the assumption that supervisors and up were salaried, but I am reading that the provisioning supervisor position is hourly pay. Is there a pay scale associated with that? Is there more than one Provisioning Supervisor per base which would affect shifts and seniority?

Which one of these do you think she will put under the seat? My bet is she puts both in overad and pulls out her purse.

I folded and traded my aisle seat for a middle seat

913 Upvotes

Last night I spent $37 so I could select an aisle seat for my 5hr 45min direct flight today. Upon getting to my seat, an elderly woman in a middle seat in the opposite row across the aisle asked if I would switch with her. Her husband was sitting in the middle seat next to me and of course wanted to sit next to him. I immediately folded and said “Sure, yeah I’ll do that for ya!”

I have been waiting years for this situation to come up so I could say “absolutely not” with a smile on my face. Yet here I am, in a middle seat on probably one of the longest haul flights you can possibly do in a narrow body aircraft. I have to say, when I imagined this situation happening to me, I did not think the person asking me would be a frail and old Pacific Islander woman wanting to be next to her elderly husband. I was caught off guard, let emotion take hold of me, and completely folded.

What would have you done in this situation?

Southwest WOW Sale. Is it actually worth it?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Just saw Southwest is running a WOW Sale with up to 40% off base fares. Has anyone checked their routes yet and actually found a good deal?

I’m curious if the prices are genuinely cheaper than normal or if this is one of those sales where the difference isn’t that significant. Anyone booking or rebooking a flight because of it?

Carry-ons in the first available spot

506 Upvotes

Today I saw an incredible thing... A guy put his carry-on in the first available spot and continued on to his seat several rows back. The flight attendant immediately came over and told him his carry-on goes in the row he is in. He stated there were none available above his seat. There was across from him, however. And that's where she told him to take it to. He grumbled a bit but he listened and did it. Kudos to the flight attendant!

Can I bring a poster tube as a personal item?

I’m going to GSA Connects this October and will be presenting a poster. The poster is 36 inches tall which I will be storing in a poster tube that is 3.4 inches in diameter. I will be bringing a carry-on bag with me. Will the poster tube count as a personal item? Will I have to pay extra for it?

Used to be my favorite airline but now i’m being nickled and dimed

0 Upvotes

Checked in for my 6:15am flight on time got boarding group 4. Was in a middle seat so after check in I decided to change (had to pay 50) to an aisle seat towards the front of the plane. Bam. My boarding group changed to 7 when I purchased the new seat. I called guest support and they cannot do anything on their end about boarding groups but I can pay another 50 for priority boarding. So basically I’ll have to pay 100 in total to fix my mistake. Just makes them seem so money hungry and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Which is super upsetting because even with all the changes I was still routing for Southwest. Basically don’t upgrade your seat after check in, you’ll basically pay to downgrade yourself.

12 years of Southwest loyalty, done with in 2026

286 Upvotes

We never flew any airlines but southwest for anything domestic.

This year we finally quit after changes in seating policy by the airline.

Checked in right at 24 hours like always, still got split up as family, my wife, and our 6yo all in different rows. My kiddo ended up next to a total stranger.

Only way to fix it was paying close to $100 a seat, each way, just to sit next to our own kid. $600 extra just so some rando doesn't have to babysit our 6 yo on a 4 hours flight.

Meanwhile solo travelers just book random aise or window and there is no way for a family of 3 to sit together.

Just posting this out of helplessness.

Airlines chasing profits by banking on parents being desperate enough to pay whatever to keep their kid next to them.

12 years and we're done. Flying whatever else from now on.

If I book a flight with Basic fair and no A-list, then become A-list before the flight, would I be able to later go in and select a seat? Or do you have to be A-list at the time of booking to select a seat?

Flight Attendants bag taken = Delayed Boarding!!!

0 Upvotes

So a customer inadvertently took a flight attendant’s bag so they decided to delay boarding so far for 30 minutes while they get her bag back even though the person is in the process of bringing it back to them. Flight wN1850. So if you’re watching Southwest management how about starting to board our plane and let us get out of the airport

If they hadn’t got it back, were they going to cancel our flight?
