How do you handle flying with no status? I have something on American, United and Southwest, but nothing on Delta, but I “have to” fly Delta next week.

So I’ve only flown with Southwest once. Can someone confirm if the “Wanna Getaway” link at the bottom means I can get priority boarding? Or do I need to purchase for the earlybird check in? TIA!

Dear American Airlines,
Your extreme fear of slight weather amuses me. Surely you feel pathetic when your brethren airlines, even Southwest, are still operating while you scream “the sky is falling!!"
