Just flew southwest yesterday - sure the point system might suck since you don't have loyalty and upgrades etc, but it's a comfy ride, the bins are large (you can get away with an expanded carry on) and fuck yea peanuts. Yes, I'm still bitter they made me fly southwest too...

Do it for a month or two then switch back. Things like these are never long ladting

Don't listen to him

Then you need to make a strong argument that the additional comfort outweighs the additional cost.

Southwest is better than American. I take southwest when I can, sadly the firm prefers American or even worse United

Companion pass ftw
