Agreed. Could've been real bad. I'm curious to see how the routes I usually fly will price out going forward. I'll probably start opting for biz if it's only a couple thousand more.

The main thing for me is the early boarding.

Correct me if I’m wrong, aren’t all points tickets refundable?

Kinda. Officially they are cancelable, but not refundable. Being that points can't be issued as a SW credit, they are refunded. Officially the $5.60 will be issued as a credit, and not returned.

I don't use a walker or cane when flying with my kid, I don't really need it, but when flying alone, it a big deal. 9/10 times I'm flying on a Sunday, which means check in is on Saturday...yea...i board Z108

On reward bookings the $5.60 is REFUNDABLE to the original form of payment unless you make a change to the reservation. After that point if you cancel the flight, you will be given a CREDIT for the $5.60

Good to know. Not the biggest deal either way, but good to know.

Is southwest consistent with boarding kids first ? On many us airlines I have not been offered to board with my baby, although I think it’s policy on all of them

I have never had an issue. You board after A but before B.

Lol. I have a friend who always tells them his wife gets very sick on the plane, and needs to be by the bathroom. He always pre boards. Ever since I paid cash (was reimbursed) for biz, and had 12 people board before me, I cannot bring myself to even consider pulling shtick like that.

I am 100% straight with them. I only ask to board between A and B but they always give me pre-board.

If I were the gate agent I’d say, “Don’t worry, there’s a bathroom in the back.“

Funny, the one time I did that, my wife was pregnant, and we actually sat in the last row in the back
