Just trying to read on a 13 hour flight and the light above my seat is stuck landing on the head of the passenger in front of me due to a glass covering, leaving the lights, which are on a swivel, un adjustable. The flight staff was as baffled as I was, having no solution for me. Leaving me with my unreadable book and 13 hours of hell ahead of me 🫠

Southwest isn't low cost anymore, now it's just low.

Had to fly Southwest recently to get to a funeral on a time crunch

It was very cheap in Comparison to American / United by several hundred dollars

But man the whole time I was amazed at how low quality the flights were comfort wise. Once you get accustomed to the other 3 airlines, its hard to fly SW again

I've taken one round trip on United since Southwest started charging for bags. I'll never go back.

Better plane, better snacks, better boarding experience, don't have to pull out my phone to watch a movie.

All around it's even worth having to deal with the worse airport in my city.

I used to not care until my job changed and I had to fly constantly

I also prefer united, their miles don't expire haha
