Wish I had known there was a shuttle bus all the way home becaues the trains were jam packed with no chance of sitting or even moving to a place to hang on.

Would never have booked Hawaiian if we’d known Hon-Auck only flew twice a week. If you must, get to Hon the day before a flight elsewhere.

If you have a person in your party with a temporary ID (i.e. they were just issued one by DMV or their permanent ID has not arrived yet) be sure to bring additional identification materials. In our case an insurance card with their name on it was sufficient.

Southwest is typically delayed, and it gets wearisome. It is no longer a discount airline and you get way less than you pay for when it comes to comfort and Ce.

Southwest is typically delayed, and it gets wearisome. It is no longer a discount airline and you get way less than you pay for when it comes to comfort and Ce.

We sat on the plane on the tarmac for 4 hours.

I'm not a fan of Southwest's model. I don't like the herding style of boarding.

Flight crew and cabin crew were great. I had to rearrange flights because my original flight was 3hrs delayed for weather, the rub is the flight I moved to boarded on time then we sat at the gate for 2 hours because scheduling stole our first officer for another flight, TWICE. Then our actual FO was an hour delayed. To make it worse my original flight went from a 3 hour delay to departing 15min EARLY. Just poor scheduling operations all around.

Bring back peanuts Take our drink orders when were all seated, especially after you switch to assigned seating.

Staff was far less than helpful at all times. Departure and arrival times mean nothing to Southwest. Extremely disappointed, will never fly with them again, and I’ll be sure to share my experience with all.

It is southwest seat was ok. Not the most comfortable seat

I’ve always loved Southwest. No issues at all. I was flying standby and the gate agent was extremely friendly and helpful. Boarding was smooth and I was able to get a window seat in the emergency exit row. Crew was fantastic! They were very professional and accommodating. We had to divert from our destination due to weather but the flight crew kept everyone at ease and informed us of all pertinent information. Excellent flight

The price of the tickets isn't matching the flight experience. No matter how long the flight is, you're only getting pretzels. The flight attendants looked unkept and over it.

Plz don't take away free bags and free seating
