If direct flights from home to client city are an option why would you not fly Southwest? They have the best point system by far and the companion pass is second to none!

No first class and weak international awards. Also since I’m usually alt traveling to somewhere with my SO, we rarely fly out of the same airports so companion pass is not useful much

You can use your southwest points to buy flights internationally on delta, emirates, virgin, United etc. it’s the best points program hands down. I’m happy all the first class snobby bitches stay on the other flights. Swa for life

At this point in my life I would opt for direct flights over connections, even if the direct flight required me to get out and push.

☝️ This. All of this. The companion pass is the biggest scam in travel rewards!

Companion pass only works when you are flying out of the same airports all the time which doesn’t happen often unless you are not alt traveling

I love SWA. For domestic / Caribbean travel their reward program is great and I think the service is way better than the legacy carriers.

We use companion for quick weekend trips. Travel all the time for half the price.

International travel is a great reason not to fly SW.(unless considering Central America) Companion pass Def isn't a scam though. Will be flying to Hawaii when the flights start.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
