This wouldn’t be in issue if we had a better rail system. There should be direct trains from Omaha to St. Louis.

I’m still rocking southwest, no assigned seats, two free checked bags, cheaper tickets. I just won’t fly during major holidays and winter

People also prefer short direct flights instead of flying across the country with multiple stops for hours to get to the same destination

Southwest offered ALL passengers the opportunity to change flights 5 days prior to the storm I ❤️flying nonstop & will continue to fly with them

Brandon Kellogg :
In other words, loyal SW customers are about to get massive discounts because they will lose a lot of business and force SW to lower prices. Got it 📝

Lopez Luis1980 :
So if you take the one stop and for some reason that fly gets canceled now you stock on another state not to mention that sometimes the lay over can be up 6 hours long making a two hours fly longer

Yes, the reason I prefer SW. Can't stand going 500-1,000 miles out of the way to get somewhere. Been doing this a long time. They'll get it ironed out

Bobby Wells :
I think most customers would much rather take a direct flight from St. Louis to Omaha than St. Louis to Atlanta and then the Omaha

The other reason is their scheduling software cannot handle the complexity of figuring out how to recover from a weather based problem at this scale

This sounds like some sort of SAT question. I will just guess D) none of the above. Let me know if its right.

Faith Before Fear :
Southwest is no longer a discount airline and their service had fallen drastically. Can't we all agree on that?

Thwy are able to do this business model because they fly only 737s so all pilots and maintenance is standardized

Not only is it cheaper but customers would rather go point to point

I’m still trying to figure out why I check in exactly 24 hours in advance and still end up in the C boarding group

This is why I love SW. I don’t want to have to fly throug Atlanta every time I fly….

It makes zero sense to fly us clear across the country to go 2 flights away.

south west is still by far the best

Ryback Rules :
Rental car and just hit the road if you can afford it and can get a refund on return flight. When it comes to weather though, it’s not to be tested and this is for the best for everyone involved.

Lynn Odhiambo 🇰🇪 :
American it’s not the best but they do offer free flight changes no matter what and flight credit to switch along with more direct flights

As long as they keep free bags & pick your seat, idc where their points are.

the real big question is why we still rely on planes and not trains in this country

Flying during a winter storm AND the holidays is always a risk. Thanksgiving & Christmas flight cancellations shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Not only cheaper for southwest but it normally saves the traveler time by not have to go to an unnecessary city.

Cheaper with southwest is good. They provide good service. I’m fine getting fukd in these 1 off scenarios

Ok but it’s also because customers love point to point. Who wants to go to Atlanta?
