So this is curious... Some of the flights I've been looking at on Google Flights don't match up with the SW website. In this example, I've put one-way from SEA to MCO on 8/12. I've set both sites to sort by departure time, and the only filter I applied to Google is "Southwest only". Google is only showing 6 flights that day when SW shows 19, and the only flight on Google that matches any of the flights on SW is the one from 5:30am-7:10pm. I've stared at these monitors for 15 minutes trying to figure out where I made a mistake on the search entries and I can't find anything. Is there a simple user error that I'm missing, or is there a problem with the data?

You may not like it, but every airline treats the situation the same way. The tickholder is assumed to be the owner of any funds tied to the ticket -- regardless of who paid for the ticket.

I vaguely remember him saying a couple of years back that one U.S. airline would fail in the near future. I'm glad it didn't happen.

Here is the current status of Flight 1402: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/wn1402
The assigned plane is N8323c: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n8323c
According to the tracker, the plane for Flight 1402 left Fort Myers airport early in the afternoon local time but was turned around upon approaching the Chicago area and was therefore diverted and landed at IND for a few hours (assuming the reason was due to severe weather passing through Chicago according local weather reports). Thus, the excessive delay.

You’ll also lose the transferability from WGA+ but if you fly often then you probably don’t worry about using travel credits either.

the last flight I was on the flight attendant got on the PA and said "Hey, did anybody lose this?"
Everyone looked up and she goes on "Now that I have your attention, I'd like to go over some of the features of this aircraft....."
Not that a lot of people didn't go back to what they were doing, but at least she tried.

Yes. I have the $69 annual fee card and get 2 EBCIs per year. But in the OP's case when the flight was booked the EBCI window had already closed as it was less than 36 hours before the flight.

Yeah not a good deal. You only get 1 cent per point plus you pay taxes.
Using points only gets you over about 1.3 cents per point, plus no taxes.
Nope.

Southwest long ago figured out that open seating is the fastest way to get everyone on a plane. Fastest boarding means quicker plane turns - which allows more flights/gate/day and more flights/plane/day -- which in turns mean more profit and potential for lower fares for everyone.

So the workaround I implemented was to create another hotmail account, set it up to forward emails to my wife's email, and then add the new email account to her profile as her primary address. Just crazy that you have to do that to receive emails about tickets that you have paid SWA for.
As another aside, she does not have an issue receiving emails about flight delays from SWA

I’ve seen lots of fake accounts on Twitter (X) as well when I see them I report them for removal unfortunately there are lots of scam accounts on both Facebook and Twitter (X)
the best way to know if your really dealing with Southwest is look for the verified mark I’m and remember Southwest won’t add you as a friend to assist you on Facebook
@robt77burke1 if you have the link of the Facebook account please share it and I’ll pass it on for them to try and get it removed

Did the hotel free breakfast have a waffle maker?
I didn't see a waffle maker at the Dynasty. Not sure whether or not they serve waffles at all or only on certain days of the week. On the morning of stay there, Sausage and Scrambled Eggs was the free meal which was served from the warmers.
I think both of the Fairfields and the Holiday Inn on this series served pre-prepped soft waffles on certain days of the week from one of the warmers too; I didn't see waffle makers. The Residence Inn stay was the location that I noticed had a waffle maker. The Azure stay had hot breakfast but I had to check out before the dining room opened; likely same scenario as I didn't see a waffle maker from a prior stay. No breakfast included at the Apache.

Nice new feature. I use Flight Aware as it's real accurate and up to date. Nice to have it inhouse.

Southwest has 3 gates at OKC they can’t serve every city with the 3 gates so they go to places where they can connect more people LAX isn’t an ideal connection for a lot of cities other might go.

Are you sure the reservation fully ticketed? If Southwest was unable to complete the authorization for whatever reason (in this case, maybe an Apple Pay bug?) then no funds will be taken from your card though there might be a pending authorization on it for a couple of days.

Riddle me this....
When I occupied a seat that was "saved" and told the person saving the seat that it was a great subject for a book but not the way it works on Southwest, why didn't the flight attendant have me removed?

So with same day change you can make the change starting at midnight so you could set an alarm and right at midnight make the change. As long as a seat exists you can get it regardless of if it’s anytime only available and as long as your destination doesn’t change and date you can pick any available flight connection city can change (I’ve changed to different connection cities just to grab lunch/dinner before)
Keep in mind should the day come and there are no later flights you will be stuck with the awful flight so be ready just in case
As mentioned you will lose your boarding position so I wouldn’t buy EB check in as it won’t apply to your new flight however you could still upgrade to the A1-15 if you want after making the same day change if it’s available

Hi There! Sorry for the trouble here. We recently rolled out the ability to get an international trip digital boarding pass after completing a passport or visa verification at our kiosk or with an agent. In the future we are planning to activate in-app passport verification too. Exciting stuff!
This is a relatively new capability, so the new digital boarding passes for international trips may be unexpected by some of our Cohearts. I contacted our Ground Operations team to help us share your experience to help us improve in the future. Thank you for sharing this story with us and thank you for your support of Southwest!

Uh...the title to the post includes the words "new gate agent".
At MCO, you can carry on an unlimited number of items including your new refrigerator you got on sale. No problems! LOL

Pointing out issues that are detrimental to the airlines and also a blatant disregard for their own rules is no basis to be put on a no-fly list. However, in my experiences, I have been thanked by Southwest for pointing out issues where they need to improve.
None of my plans would interfere with operations nor would they be a basis to be banned from Southwest.
It is time to follow all of the rules.

FWIW-Isn't Southwest already basically doing this with their tiered Fare Structure?
Basic Current Boarding Order(My perception/understanding of it)
-Business Select= A-1 to A-15
-(A-list Preferred and A-List)=A-16 and on
-Anytime Fare= Automatic EBCI
-WGA+=Board After or buy EBCI
-WGA= Board Last or buy EBCI
The problems are:
-Those who Scam the Pre-boarding Process, either through fraud or being allowed to bring more than one support person.
-Individuals/Families buying WGA Fares and expecting Business Select Fare Boarding, because they are Special and Rules do not apply to them.
-Seat Savers, (all Seat Savers.)
My 2 cents, changing the process won't fix the problems listed above.
My Solution: Fix the problems by simply applying the existing policies of both SWA and the FAA for boarding.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this information to me. I was contacted yesterday that the item was found, and I will be reunited with it on Friday. I have been so impressed with Southwest's procedure for lost items; I have been consistently updated as to their progress - and appreciate everyone who has been supportive!
