My experience has been that once a direct flight is removed it rarely returns or are more added. When are you flying? The closer to your travel dates I fell the less likely they are to add a direct flight.
And they are aggressive about canceling flights they don't think you can make. One of those flights would be cancelled within a week, without notice or notification.
I believe the value is $16.50.
When Jon, a Southwest Gate Agent, noticed a Customer carrying a folded flag as she boarded a flight to COS, he asked her about it. Here’s what happened next, as told by Chloe, the Customer:
“I was on my way home from my brother Jay’s funeral with Nick. I received a folded flag with the rest of my family while we were there. I couldn’t fit it into my carry on so I decided to hand carry it home. When we were standing at our gate in Denver, a gate agent asked me why I was holding such an important thing and I explain to him why. He immediately gave me a hug and said “Thank you so much for his service. You’ll be getting pre-boarded tonight.” He talked to the Captain, First Officer and the rest of that Southwest crew and not only reserved us two seats in the front row but offered to fly that flag in the cockpit for him. I was in tears... The crew didn’t have to do that, but they did it out of the kindness of their hearts... I can’t thank the gate agent Jon, Captain Michael Hinkelman, First Officer Nathan Rhondes, and the rest of the crew enough for their love and support. Thank you so much for dedicating that flight to Jay... Flying was his whole world and I know that must’ve made him so happy. I’m beyond proud and honored.❤"
Captain Lamb, we can never thank you and your family enough for your service. #SouthwestHeart
I believe that is more than any of the other domestic airlines FF points. Delta would be $12, American $14, and United $13.
When are you flying? We fly out of PVD and notice that they did add flights back after taking away on February and April vacation weeks. (This was just this year so obviously different than years past)
Yes, it has been down overnight for two nights in a row, without warning in advance. They say it’s for routine scheduled maintenance. If it was scheduled, why didn’t they post a prominent advance notice on the app and website, so their customers could be prepared?
We’re flying out the first week of August so there’s still some time. I’ll definitely keep an eye on flight times then. Thanks!
I feel like I'm cheating on SW....we've been flying with them only to/from MCO ever since we started going to Disney but for our November trip I found some fabulous non-stop flights with Delta.
Yes, I'll have to pay for the flights vs. using my points and CP and basically flying for free but since this is a short, 4 night trip for us and getting 2 non-stop flights that give us more time in the parks on our arrival and departure dates feel worth it to me!
I can't believe I just said that out loud!
