Topic Wiki

This is the thread for all random/general questions about Southwest. The official airline code for Southwest is WN as SW was taken by Air Namibia, but many people on the forums refer to Southwest as SW since no one talks about Air Namibia ever.

For questions about any of the SW CC's, see here.
For questions about the SW Companion Pass, see here.
For questions about auto-checkin to SW flights, see here. (Follow the wiki to learn how to set it up.)

Thanks. Like always I will keep my mouth shut.  :)
Just found out sister has kidney stone and has to have it taken care of here. Can’t wait until she gets home. DW volunteered to stay instead of me. She is a KEEPER!!!
Prayers that all goes well, good luck on the flight.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

They closed the door even though you were on board and she wasn't?

Yes.

Wow, weird. I hope they don't cancel her CP once you arrive.  They clearly paged you for a reason.

I am CP on DW account. Had an emergency and DW can't fly back to MDW with me. We are both checked in and I already went through security. Can I fly as CP without her flying?
SW canceled DW ticket and refunded the points to her account.

While I was seated on the plane they checked if three passengers were on the plane. First was announced DW name, I slumped in my seat.  :)
Then they said my name so I raised my hand. Then they asked if DW boarded. I shuck my head no. Then they went on to the third passenger.

Yikes.  I hope they don't revoke her CP without giving you the opportunity to shmooze your way out of it.  Only time will tell....

Will update if something happens. According to T&C's only recourse is to charge me full fare price.

Of course.  Their customer services is extraordinary, they may excuse it one time.
