HOLD Forever

I have never been placed on hold for so long in my life! over 55minutes at this point with no response at all. Its midnight and I am trying to change a flight that will take off in the morning and the website won't let me do it. This customer service is so bad. Why is no one answering the phones.

@vbkelly56I always have good luck reaching out to SW on Twitter. The longest I have  had to wait for a response back has been minutes. Give that a try... hopefully the outcome will be positive for you.

I'm sorry you are experiencing that!  You might also use the Live Chat funcationlity in the SW app.  The response time is much quicker!

sorry to hear you had had a long hold last night. I believe the reason the hold times were so long had to due with the weather in Texas lots of flight delays and cancellations on top of the MAX 8 cancellations which means lots of phone calls. 

 

Hope you got through and we’re able to get things changed
