“Terrible treatment of kids flying alone”
Review of Southwest Airlines


Reviewed 28 March 2024

I sat next to 2 children who didn't know each other. we were second row from the front on starboard side of plane. They were 11 and 12. 1. The plane front bathroom was filthy , 2. there was only ONE drink/beverage service on this 5 hour flight!! 3. The thin flight attendant with long dark brown hair was VERY rude to the children. Unacceptable behavior. I thought Southwest was kid friendly - and these kids had FINE behavior...

Random fees being charged at Hilo but not getting charged the same fees on Maui. If this happens ask why. Many unclear rules.

My son’s father passed away suddenly and we were scrambling to get reservations. We had to call back twice and make changes. They were so kind and helpful, and there was no wait time on their 800 customer service line. When my son was boarding they helped him lay his funeral suit in the bin and closed it so it wouldn’t get wrinkled. How sweet. Southwest has really turned it around. They truly treat each customer like an individual. You have earned our business back, SWA- thank you!

We had to rebook flights the day before flying due to a massive snowstorm. Our direct flight was changed to a connecting flight, but the connecting city was closer to our point of origin, so we just hopped in the rental car and drove. Little did we know that hidden in the fine print is a "no show" policy. If you don't cancel your flight and just don't show up, they cancel all flights on your itinerary--including your return flight. It doesn't matter that you already purchased your seats. They will take your money or points and leave you without a flight. What's more, if you purchase the highest price points tickets, they will REFUND your points, but if you purchase cheaper seats, they TAKE your points. This feels like a poor penalty to me. We have been loyal Southwest customers for 20 years, including the credit card. No more. We are taking our business elsewhere. Our 20 years of loyalty apparently means nothing to this heinous company.
