Are Southwest planes pressurized differently than other airlines? I feel like I always get a horrible headache every time I fly them, but I rarely do with other airlines...

Over half of Southwest fleet is the very old 737-700 not 800 (AA's main plane), or 900 (UA's main plane) but Southwest has the most orders for the 737MAX thru 2021. Southwest also works their planes the most with the fastest turnaround in the industry so I wouldn't be surprised if that translates to them using air filters longer and causing lower quality air in the cabin

Quote from ATC worker "Southwest for example tends to climb like bats out of hell, and then request direct routing/shortcuts from us, and we are often able to approve them and send them direct, since they're above most conflicting traffic. It's one of their signature tricks, and it usually works."

Southwest is famous for climbing to cruising altitude very fast and then requesting a faster flight path so the flight can arrive earlier at the destination. The faster climb could be what gets you

PwC 1...no that's not a thing. That would require southwest getting preferential treatment by ATC. Unless you're joking.
