They dont charge for the 1st 2 bags, they give decent snacks, the seats are comfortable, the planes are clean, the flight attendants are nice, you can choose a seat, windows close if you wish, free non-alcoholic drinks) and on newer planes (737-700) snack trays move out,and goood air. Bad: New boarding procedure I fly quite often and i travel light. I take the clothes needed. mY 3 oz or smaller personal items, my laptop, and my iPod I think southwest is great.

We have a couple over here offering flights for 1p (plus taxes) within Europe and Ireland. Bargain! Do you have many low cast airlines in the US?

The airport that I normally fly out of was actually featured a handful of times as it is a big Southwest hub. The only thing to keep in mind when watching a show like that is to think of how many people the agents deal with where there are no problems or the agent is friendly and helpful. With editing on tv, you get the impression they are always short and unsympathetic with passengers but that doesn't necessarily reflect reality. I’ve seen that show a few times.

Remember that Airline show they had on TV that was all about Southwest Airlines ? I was really turned off by some of the stuff that happened on that show. When they overbooked and people got bumped, they were not very sympathetic at all. The employees deal with that stuff everyday, but most passengers do not. They are in a hurry to start a vacation, visit a loved one, etc. and news of getting bumped doesn't sit well. I suppose this is not exclusive to Southwest, but it was the only one they had on TV. :) I have never flown Southwest.

I generally have a laptop along in a carry-on, but don't think I've ever used it while actually on a plane.

The whole industry is going through some nasty times and cost cutting is the order of the day. Southwest will last the long haul. You can say that again.
