No wifi, seems to be very common with Southwest currently. Everything else was normal.

No gluten free snacks. Seats felt worn or bare bones even though it was a new 737 MAX 8.

Boarding was easy. The seats are small and fairly uncomfortable

The boarding and seat assignment system no longer works for me, but I know it is being replaced. Otherwise, I am good with the overall experience.

San Diego airport is brand new, spacious, airy and very smooth checkin at SW baggage drop.

Very smooth checking in our luggage with a super pleasant SW agent. I enjoyed a fun entertaining movie.

Great flight, 47 passengers on a 180 seat plane. Stewardess was pleasant and cheerful.

Fine, but how to board on SW versus othrr airlines, is just lame. Goood staff though and all was solid otherwise.

Our first flight was so delayed that we had 10 mins to board the next one. We requested if the flight attendant could allow us off there plane first and they denied our request even though I have seen this done before. Luck was on our side that we didn’t miss our next flight.

Everything went well, but the flight was delayed multiple times. The delays were only minutes, but it was without information on why it was delayed.
