Flying tomorrow from STL to Dallas Lovefield on southwest. Bought the early bird check in. We got group A position 35 and 36. I'd say I think we got a good group. So I am beyond happy
-
Just wanted to say THANKYOU SO MUCH for making this video. I dont fly that often and have never flown Southwest. I will soon be taking my first flight with Southwest. Your video covered everything. GOD BLESS
-
I am so glad I watched this video. It's very clear on procedures and is much better than the assorted emails Southwest sends out in the days after you make your reservation and again in the days before your flight. This video makes it all very logical.

Quite Informative.

Thanks for the video. I think that people who fly Southwest all the time forget how different it is from other airlines. You can debate good or bad but it's different. Now that we're working on getting a companion pass we will be flying them a lot more. Thanks for the run-through.
