Yep, Southwest burned me 3 times with last-minute, same-day-as-traveling flight cancelations in recent months. Twice going to/from NYC last month. if you are flying these days, some tips: check your email as soon as you get up the day you're flying. Airlines now cancel your flight via email and tell you to rebook "the next day". You can still fly that day; they are just trying to manage capacity by getting people to voluntarily alter their travel plans. As soon as you know your flight is canceled, whether at the airport, at home, wherever--immediately contact the airline and re-book a guaranteed seat on the next flight your airline can get you a guaranteed seat--even if is the next day and you plan to try getting out sooner via flying standby. Once you've locked in a seat on another flight, you can still try to fly standby on an earlier flight--esp if you're not at your original/home departure location. They give you priority if you're away from home and trying to get home vs people from that city. But don't wait to lock in a flight, even if it seems like it's inconveniently the next day. cuz you could end up stuck for 2 or 3 days if you don't. if your flight gets canceled and your stuck at an airport, the best people to talk to are the ticket agents outside security at the airport. the staff running the desks at the gate for each flight don't give a fuck about anything except the flight or flights assigned to that gate at that time. if one agent tells you they can't help. get back in line and try another agent. keep trying. the good agents will creatively get you where you need to be asap. if you're flying into or out of LaGuardia, expect delays/cancelations and general timetable fuckery. Direct flights. Pay extra if you have to. Worth it not to deal with multiple airports. Greatly lowers your chances of delay/cancelation. Take a different airline if your usual airline doesn't have direct flights to your destination. Southwest is good, but they only fly direct to so many places. Drive instead. |

Southwest gets worse every year. I used to only fly them and now they are my last choice besides the airlines that actively hate their customers. |

I know Ronnie Woo Woo uses them for Cubs game trips to San Diego. And if you were wondering, he does in fact perform his act the entire flight. |

I'm bringing a lot of weight back from VT Let me know how you want to unload it. I got peeps, but I can probably hold quite a bit myself... If it's quality, I can make the whole thing work. |
