People stomp all over you to get onto the plane. Seats will still be there, folks.

And the dumbasses that bring those rolling luggage cases. Figure one bin for 6 people, and those cases take up over a third of a bin. Our flight was delayed 20 minutes, because they had to take out baggage and check it below. Its not as if you are NOT going to pass the luggage carousels anyways.

Maybe I'm a bit anal, but I'll throw out my common courtesy bitch again. *grr*

Oh, and my last bitch. I flew from Vegas to Seattle. PLEASE tell me WHY I had to go through Salt Lake City, UT? On the way back, they were much more creative. I had a choice of going from Seattle to LA to Phoenix to Vegas or Seattle to Reno to Vegas.

Rant! Rant! Rant!

Ah, I feel better. That is the last time I let my mom pick my airline.

There IS no first class on Southwest, and yes, I do fly other airlines when I can.

*grr* They don't have seat assignments. Period.

*sigh*

northwestern has left a terminal on time once in its history. this was two years ago on new years eve in memphis. i was on my way back from germany via detroit and then memphis. the fuckers left the terminal five minutes early. i ran my ass off to get to the plane (i got there a minute early) so i wouldn't have to spend new year's eve in memphis and the bastard left early. so i guess they haven't ever left no time.

Here's the funny part...to pass the time, the stewardess ladies decided to gamble! Everyone in the plane (who wanted to participate) got a dollar and wrote their seat # on it. Then it all got put in a bag, and the dollar bill with the seat # pulled won all the cash! COOL!...Except for the fact that a 14 year old kid won, which is GAMBLING BY A MINOR! ILLEGAL! The technical side to this is: IS it really illegal? We were flying, so we weren't really in ANY state, which is where the gambling laws apply...raises an interesting question, eh? (I'm pretty sure it is illegal, but it's funny nonetheless.)

Just your generic meaningless signature. Mix with 2 quarts water and stir till evenly coated.

Southwest is the "no frills" airline and they tell you that. Thats also why there is no first class and why you feel like cattle. Don't complain you probably paid less for that ticket then on other airlines.

I flew first class on american and business to and from london (for free)- I NEVER complain about airline service cause I dont pay for it. But I get what you all are saying. If you want an airline with all the frills- try American or Delta or something. Southwest is the to and fro airline- nothing to them.

A friend of mine talked me into helping him move back east (from California). So we drove to New Jersey from here. I, of course, don't have all that much money to pay for a plane back so I decide to go Southwest. Hey, it's only 赨 one-way.. how bad could it be?

Well, I made it to Baltimore airport about 15 minutes before the flight left (my bad, I know...) Got onto the plane right before it pushed off. Had the pleasure of being in a center rear-ward facing seat right behind a bulkhead (you know, the one where they put 6 people (3 forward, 3 backwards) with about the same amount of legroom as a normal row).

Which wouldn't all that bad, if it weren't for the rather large woman on the aisle side of me, and the 3 angry men across from me who started drinking LONG before the plane ever left the ground.

Of course, I really hadn't paid any attention to the ticket when I bought it. I knew what time I was leaving the east coast, and I knew what time I was going to be getting to the West coast. Didn't think a thing of it. Until I got on the plane, and noticed that the flight attendants made no mention of Sacramento, but a lot of Birmingham Alabama. And that hurricane off of the coast that we were going to be flying by. Which made for a rather bumpy ride in a backwards facing seat.

Of course, I was on the direct (NOT non-stop) flight from hell. And I didn't change planes, which meant I couldn't get off of the plane. Unless I tried jumping out.

13 hours, and a few lovely stops later (Birmingham, Houston, Las Vegas) I was home. And I think I'd rather drive than fly Southwest again.

I used to fly Canadian Airlines all the time, they had good service, decent prices, and pretty good aircraft. But they were bought all up by Air Canada a while ago, leaving only one major Canadian Airline. And guess what- the pilots are threatening to go on strike in a few days. Just great. That means that national flights could be decimated. Grr...

I remember when I was young, flying on trips to Hawaii and stuff on 747's, and the plane would be half full, so they would come back and ask if we would like to sit in some vacant first class seats. That was cool.

About the last 5 flights I've been on have been absolutely packed. No more days of "plenty of room" I guess. I suppose it's just the fact that airlines are getting more expensive to operate, and they want to be as efficient as possible.
