Call Southwest's 800 number, get an operator right away. Call United's 800 numbers, wait 5-10 minutes. Call Southwest's 800 number, get an operator in the United States, who presumably is paid a decent U.S. wage. Call United's 800 number, get an operator in the Philippines. Just sayin'.

Reservations lines for both are answered quickly.

 

Customer Relations for Southwest often has very, very long hold times.

 

You are correct that Southwest's phone support is US-based.
