“Excellent Hospitality”
Review of Southwest Airlines


Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Erica and Mace were the attendants on my flight (2825). They were very hospitable to all that were on the plane. The flight had to stay in the air longer due to the weather around us. They continued to serve those that needed to be serve.
They also were full of humor. Thank you to both!

I paid $1500 for a business class flight and there is no business area in the airplane. All seats are exactly the same. No extra leg room! I’m just shocked! you just get closer to the door in the line and there is no difference with other seats! this is unblock and absolutely a ripoff !

I’m an A lister and fly 2 to 6 times per week. I’ve utilized SW mostly because they usually have a time near when I need to take off/arrive.

Due to take off at 9.50am. Looked at all the reviews before choosing southwest as an interconnecting flight from San Francisco to Vegas after travelling 13 hours Brisbane to San Francisco.

They found a small problem with the plane which happens and no one wants to risk flying with an issue. Problem was they took so long to decide if it was an issue we had mostly boarded before they offloaded all of us.
Then the said the needed a part, had found one and it would be 30 minutes to an hour.

2 hours after that they say "good news" the part has left Oakland! What the hell?

It's now 1.10 and we are supposed to board at 1.30 however no updates.

All about money, they surely could have deployed another plane?

Worse experience with a US carrier. Staff smile alot however cannotnor are unwill to do nothing

This was the worst plane trip I've ever been on. At first we were delayed by more than and hour. We were worried we wouldn't make our flight and a worker at SJO southwest said if we didn’t make it they would give us hotel vouchers. Finally our plane arrived and they had us line up, however, then they said we couldn't leave yet and we waited for another 4 hours. When we finally landed in Texas we were told to go to the help desk for our vouchers. When we got there they told us they couldn't give us vouchers due to not having rooms in hotels (which was a lie) and told us we had to pay and find our own flights. They also blamed it on the weather for us being late, which was not true because the entire reason our flight was delayed in the first place was because the plane broke down in Florida before coming to get us. We never got that voucher and Southwest has betrayed my family. This was supposed to be a fun vacation and now it has turned into a nightmare because of Southwest.
