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.

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.

Multiple delays, poor communication of information and a 4 hour delay with multiple gate changes ...

No problems with the flight, my issue is with the terminal at SAN airport. I’ve never seen a dirtier, worse equipped terminal. No power plugs worked, but you could of course buy a fuel rod battery from the kiosk (seemingly the only thing that worked).
