I love flying on Southwest, except for one thing - getting a receipt. My employer uses the Concur travel portal, but an internal expense reporting system, not the one offered by Concur. Concur will book the flight directly with Southwest, so some of the emails from Southwest are not sent to me. The Concur confirmations are not acceptable to our AP department as 'receipts'. Every single vendor other than Southwest will send me an email with an attached PDF statement, without being asked. For some reason, Southwest thinks it's OK to require me to go retrieve one from the website (and not in a form I can scrape, either), or heaven forbid, call multiple times per month to have more detailed ones emailed to me. Why not just email the statement at the completion of each flight? And please include all charges on the invoice, like paid upgrades, baggage fees, and in-flight wifi. Even if it was just integration with an automation service like IFTTT or Zapier, I'd be happy.
