“Nice Cattle Car”
Review of Southwest Airlines


Reviewed 11 January 2020

My wife and I prefer flights that have two seats per row instead of the 3 per row that every Southwest flight has. I was reminded yet again why I do not like sitting next to a stranger. You wouldn't think a guy would sit next to you and spend most of the hour flight picking his nose, but we drew the short straw this time and that's what happened. I calmed myself by repeating that at least he wasn't coughing, sneezing on me or hogging the arm rest, so I sucked it up and sat next to the kid who grew up to pick his nose in public like the 8 year old he once was. That's why I don't like Southwest

I love southwest airlines, they give 2 free bags, plus a carry on free. Other airlines may be cheaper but by the time you add seats & bags it a lot more than southwest. If I can fly with them I always will.

I have taken the flight a couple times from Pittsburgh to San Antonio and the first time my flight got jumbled up due to Chicago Midway being on a ground stop but they got my on another plane to Atlanta and I arrived in San Antonio a little after my original arrival time. The second time not only did I arrive in San Antonio on time but we were almost an hour early! There are no direct flights on SW from Pit to San Antonio but I have never had a problem with my layover or connections.

My flight from Tampa to Columbus was on time with no hassels or delays. Whenever I fly, I always use Southwest if possible.Their service to customers is top notch, and if you have to make a change in your plans, Southwest makes changing very easy. I would recommend Southwest to anyone planning a trip.
