Really? I like southwests boarding. I find it simple and clean, and I rarely am seated behind row 5.

They all suck

Everyone is given a sequential boarding number. How are people cutting when it is very clear whether they have a higher boarding number?

I saw two instances of the middle school "heeey how're you doing" while merging into the line. Lots of people hovering around where their number is but not actually asking, resulting in two lines

SWA is for the poor

I'm with A1. WN is always by the book and orderly. AA on the other hand.....

Yeah people get sketchy and won't show their pass and try to sneak ahead.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
