I like the airline. Open seating. Not nickel and dimed for bags. Tons of flights. Plus the flight attendants seem like normal ppl.

like

The open seating is why I will never fly them.

Wife and I get the cards perpetually. Almost guarantees free flights whenever we travel (which is 2-3 times a year). Chase is getting smarter now. Can only apply every 24 months for any southwest credit card (not just the version you most recently applied for)

Wife and I have had companion pass for the last 5 years using credit cards. Of all the point hacks out there, this has saved us the most money.

Depends on your travel. Their rewards program for domestic travel is probably the best if it serves the markets you are in.

But no first class or not a lot of international travel makes the selection limited.

Their irrops handling is spectacularly, disastrously bad. If you'd ever seriously consider flying Spirit or Frontier, then Southwest is an upgrade over that. But if you're used to flying mainline carriers, and value your time, steer clear, IMO

True but I also made close to $6k last year with insurance claims against my CSR card. Thanks to Southwest and generous CSR reimbursement I now have a new ward robe.

The kindergarten line is a hard no from me.

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle?
