I dig southwest. No hassle changes, a breeze to use points earned, and a very predictable boarding process.

Sometimes the gates can seem chaotic if there isn’t enough space for the people lining up, but no more ridiculous than “Group 2” on United.

I love SWA, point redemption is the highest value of domestic airlines hands down. Once you get status you can almost always get a seat with tons of leg room. Companion pass is excellent as well

Make sure you register for their double points promo. Think it runs till mid-June.

I love southwest and think they are the best service out there. Points are easy to earn and hard to burn. Enjoy it.

Where are you working that you can only fly WN? Unless you're working for WN, in which case you have bigger things to worry about.

There was a thread yesterday about this

If you don’t have status make sure you check in right at T-24 or buy early bird check in to give yourself a better boarding position. Don’t believe the hype. They are the same as any other big domestic airline

M1 - Traveling coast to coast and the client is based in a smaller east coast city. The alternative direct flight is Spirit, no way I’m doing that!

Thanks for all the tips !!

Woof, I'd rather drive coast to coast each week than fly Spirit

Ummm... don’t?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
