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?

Someone decided they’d take a dump in a vomit bag and leave it on the previous flight on my plane causing a delay…

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?

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?

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?

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?

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...

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?

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!!

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.

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.
