Southwest Airlines has been really disappointing lately…read more In June 2024, my daughters and I flew out of this Midland, TX, airline. The reason I always chose Southwest was because I didn't mind flying commercial and economy-class within the United States if it saved me money. Plus their bag limits and fees were better than other major airlines. The flight attendants were once upon a time much more enjoyable. Now it seems like staff members at all Southwest Airlines are going through the motions. Couldn't even hear or understand the person at the podium when boarding time started. Moreover, recently Southwest has announced they are doing away with their long-established policy of "first-come, first-served" seating. Instead, they are moving to assigned seating. I've seen many comments from individuals across social media expressing their joy over this, citing the awkwardness that goes with the usual seat-seeking process. Whatever! I highly doubt the experience overall gets better by taking away first choice seating and (we all know it's going to happen) raising prices, Southwest.

Southwest crew members were super attentive and efficient on this quick pit stop in Midlands from…read moreLas Vegas. They have great communication and direction to ensure an on time departure. The plane a 737-800 a somewhat new plane had really bad internet. Little disappointed... but I will give 5 stars still due to the excellent crew. One passenger (Karen) sitting up front wanted a lady that decided to sit by her to place her dog (service animal) in the overhead compartment that was in an animal carry on. I'm like... are you kidding me. The Karen elected to move away from the dog... really??? Place the dog in the overhead... give me a break.

Worst airline there is. It took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to get a drink. I asked the the…read moreattendant and she said it was bumpy when it was smooth as glass. Ball of them were back there having lunch while all the other passengers sat without anything. Finally got our drinks and they came right behind to pick it up because we were landing. Just lazy and didn't want to do anything. People were up and down going to the restroom so I think we were safe to have a coke.

4/11/23 After…read morereading the reviews, I was kind of apprehensive ...not gonna lie. Got to the airport around 5:30 am and there were about 5 people in line and the counter was closed. Mind you boarding was at 6:50am and the flight leaves at 7:15 am. I was probably standing in line about 5-10 mins when they opened. Here are my observations and suggestions to keep the line moving and people from getting upset with the counter agents. 1) Check in PRIOR to arrival. If you can weigh your luggage, especially if you KNOW you're close to weight limit, Pulling stuff at the counter and figuring out what to put in the carry on is time consuming and holds up the line. One person was so overweight he had a $200 surcharge. 2) Do any paperwork or pre-pay for luggage ahead of time. One couple had about 6 pieces of luggage. They were sent out of line because the did not fill out the fire arm disclosure paperwork ahead of time. Being flustered, it looked as if they were going to have a panic attack as they were unsure how they were going to do it online. 3) CARRY-ONS : if you can get away with a carry on, do it. You can check yourself in at the kiosk and by-pass seeing an agent. The agent was friendly and quick. I treated her nicely, she treated me nicely. TRAVEL ON!

DO NOT FLY DELTA!!!!!Wish I could do negative stars. We were stranded in the airport for more than…read more3 hours, with no attempt to remedy the situation. When we finally got to our destination, we had missed our shuttle to the hotel and Uber/Lyft were over an hour wait. Only choice was to rent a car. We explained all this to customer support, which all the lead us to was a form to fill out. Which all lead to them writing back and saying sorry, but we're rejected your claim due to our policy and offered nothing. Went back and forth with customer care for a few emails and got no where. Can't tell you what to do, but just warn you not to fly Delta airlines. Old planes, dated seating and small, horrible turbulence, etc.

Somehow, this already mediocre airport turned significantly worse. Most of the TSA workers I have…read moreinteracted with here are just grumpy and snappy at everybody. But the main highlight of my trip here was the following. I had a significant flight delay so was issued a meal voucher for $15 at around 6:00PM. I thought, 'ok cool I guess I'll grab some food while I wait since the restaurant here is open until 7:30PM which is still oddly early for an airport restaurant'. Well, everything was already closed at 6:00PM. Are you kidding? The store and 2 restaurants were already closed at 6:00PM? Also the workers here have not been updating anybody about the delay status. They're lollygagging around and joking around with each other laughing while the passengers are livid. I was told that the maintenance guy is still at his house so they're waiting on him to get up and drive over here. What is going on here? This place really needs to get their stuff together.

Check in was a breeze. Due to a O'dark 30 flight, we did not have a chance to indulge in the free breakfast. However, with a little scouting around I found coffee "cream", plates, decent utensils. We used Uber Eats to gets some decent chow. I highly recommend this as, nothing within walking distance looks appealing. Shuttle was on time and not fooling around about waiting. On the hour means on the hour. (Glad I was early )
