Plz don't take away free bags and free seating

Plz don't take away free bags and free seating

Multiple delays and gate changes. Arrived at final destination 6 hours late. All rental cars had been taken.

The movies using Southwest WiFi kept pausing and I had to restart multiple times.

First, my flight was a usual flight nothing exceptional or unexpected. Over all it was a normal, good flight! Second, your questionaire is wholly lacking in the proper options to which one can answer a question. Often on short flights, there is no food let alone entertainment so why isn't that reflected in your questionaire? A simple "not applicable" would cover that issue appropriately but no, your form arbitrarily enters an answer based on the initial assessment which normally isn't factual. Until you provide an accurate means of assessing flights, I'll no longer be completing of these unimpressive and misleading assessements. Thank you!

Easy to book and to get check in and get on and off.

It seems as though the provisions are even less. Although SWA used to be an economy Airline, that isn't really the case anymore. I paid over $700. for a round trip to Denver and I could have flown just about any airline for the price. The drinks are now in a 6-ounce cup and with ice I'm sure a can would fill more than 2 cups. However, I am very proud of SWA for using paper rather than continuing to contribute to the millions of plastic cups being used each day. I've thought of this fr many years and am so glad to see it come to fruition, if not by only SWA so far.

Service was great, boarding and exiting went smoothly, and the flight was very pleasant.

Everything worked well. Crew was as entertaining as is possible on a plane flight. Southwest still has good legroom:

Crew was great - friendly and helpful with boarding - letting folks know where overhead space was available thus getting us out of the gate on time.

What’s best is they have free 2 check in bags. Unlike budget airlines that knocks you off with fees just for you hand carried bags

American airlines suck they delay the flights all the time made me sleep in an airport because my flight was delayed and I miss my connecting flight

The stewardess hit me with the food kart twice on the head and didn't say I'm sorry once. The same stewardess gave me a warm Apple Juice with No ice. The Flight was delayed for Departure 6 times, starting from 2:36pm, finally taking off 7:50pm. I was late picking up my child from the sitter by 3 hours.

Our bags took a long time to get unloaded once we landed.

My flight was delayed for several hours. Sitting at gate 16 for several hours, I got a text from Kayak the gate changed to 9 before it was announced. Very bad communication at each gate from American Airlines employees. I received 10 notifications of delay from Kayak. My vacation started off horrible! I will write to American Airlines corporate office also.

My Internet did not work for Outlook email or basically anything. I paid for one hour of in-flight usage and it was terrible. I spent a lot of time on different sites and browsers with no luck and a lot of frustration. Other than that, the flight was on time, crew was nice, service was fine. Seat was OK even though I paid for the extra 6 inches. I cannot imagine how tight the seats in the back must be.

Delayed flight that lead to a missed connection and a 5-hour trip became a 12-hour flight 🙄

No issues. They did change our gate FOUR times in about 30 minutes which was mildly annoying but the flight was fine.

Crew should be nicer and emphatic with customers. Same cookies as the past 20 years. Seat are ok and the plane was clean though it was delayed.

Very poor delay in dfw was really bad n long

Because of rescheduling, they had to put me on a flight that didn't go through Dallas
