On March 21, 2024 I was traveling from SJU to Philadelphia with my grandson for a surgery on his hips and knees at Shriner's Hospital. Upon arrived at the Southwest counter the Employee Manuel Maldonado jump and without questions he started to assist us with our bags and the rest of our luggage. Mr. Maldonado not only assist us with our bags but he also assist with the wheel chair, he provide the boarding pass with a pre-board to make sure our grandson will be one's of the first inside the plane and the wheel chair was manage by the ground personnel, he also instruct his fellow partner who was the one to work the flight to assist us on the particular needs we had. I can say that all instructions given by Mr. Maldonado they all were follow to the dot and the experience was a smooth one. Mr. Maldonado did not know anything about the surgery or the reasons of our flight but his sense of helping others became an experience not to forgot. Mr. Maldonado is a True Employee who value his customers, is focus in Customer Service and employees like Mr. Maldonado carry the Southwest Core Values to the Top. Thanks Mr. Maldonado for the experience and the well care in all details to ensure everything was cover as it was with no missing details until we complete our trip to Philadelphia. A JOB WELL DONE.
