I'm with you Jay. Southwest is great. They are almost always on time and they're prices are great. Plus I get a lot of free flights using the credit card and they're very generous mileage program (by far the best).
I used to be a fan of American Airlines, now I hate them. They've gone to shit along with most of the other domestics. It's a business model that will put them all out of business. It's funny because Southwest used to be the butt of everyone's jokes. Now the other airlines haven't only gone "no frills", but they charge you for everything that used to be free, baggage, checking baggage, meals (as shitty as they are), pillows, blankets. The next thing will no doubt be a charge for taking a shit. Amercian can't be on time to save their lives. I sold off all my American miles last year.
United sucks too. You can never use their miles to get tickets. I've been trying to book trips for a couple of years now, with no success. I went into my account the other day and found out that all my miles expired with no notice given by the airline. It was a hidden rule that says if your account has no "activity" that the miles expire. So I called their call center in India. The supervisor offered me this outstanding deal. Give them 199 and get nothing and then book a ticket on their airline. Then I would get my miles back! I told them to fuck off. Can you believe their gall? I've added United to my ever lengthening list of airlines I will never fly again.
It's just too bad Southwest doesn't fly to Atlanta. Had to buy a ticket on Delta.
What was the question again?
