Has anyone flown on Southwest recently for business travel? I live by a hub for American Airlines, I travel frequently for work, & I’m up to Platinum status. The travel agency my employer uses used to exclude all discount airlines but recently added Southwest. Since the travel policy is based on the lowest price airfare available (regardless of stops/time/etc), we’re being forced to book Southwest instead of American. I am not happy about this. My previous experiences with Southwest were awful.

Flew with them for personal travel recently Atl-lga. Bought the business select fare and it was good. On time. Easy etc. if you end up flying them a lot you could aim for the companion pass.

Well that stinks. The only thing that has worked for me with a prior company was making my search windows for flights so small that the only flights that showed up were the ones I wanted. But that may not work for you.

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.
