So, I just took my very first flight on SW airlines this past weekend and let me say, it was very interesting. First, both there and back the pilots did an awesome job with take off and landing. VERY cool! On our way back, however, we had some issues. My husband, brother in-law, and I were on the very first row on the left, if sitting it would be on the right. Well, the lady on the other side of the isle had her belongings (a purse) under he seat she was in. I was working on doing that same thing, as my purse holds most of my important things. I was told I could not have my bag under there, and had to put it in the overhead baggage, which was so full no one could fit anything in there. The stewardess would not allow me to just put it under the deat, however, why didn't she ask the other lady to do the same? I feel like the trip back, my husband and I got picked on a little. It seems like we were singled out throughout Detroit airpoirt and on the plane. One lady kept running from the back of the plane to try to use the bathroom, after we told her my hsuband was next as he had been waiting as well. She attempted a thrid time, before I finally told her to please get the hell away from the front and that someone would let her know when the dam bathroom was free. One of your stewardesses also had an issue with shutting drawers, and proceeded to slam them. I'm not sure what the hell happened on the way back home, but I will make sure next time when we fly home to NOT go SW airlines, and NOT to go to Detroit airport. **Just FYI, on the way out to our destination, I was allowed to put my purse under MY own seat, so I don't understand the issue. It wasn't blocking anything. Again, preferable treatment to some, or so it seems** Also, I watched as another person took some Aoli sauces in their bag, carry on, and was allowed to continue with the sauce, however, my husband was told he could not take it and TSA took it. I really am starting to think flying sucks way too badly to justify flying. I mean, I get safety regulations, but if you're going to say no to one, say no to all. Just like the lady who had an open water bottle she just brought on with her, through TSA and all. Yet, we were told we couldn't take any of that stuff. I had to throw away $40+ of stuff we either bought as suvineers or to keep us hydrated. I think from here on out, we will just charter a plane or drive. Just too much of a hassel for what you pay. TSA needs to get their stuff together though.
