Notes: My 3rd flight on Southwest and my 3rd on the Boeing 737-700. My full routing for the day was SEA-OAK-LAX-SFO.

My thoughts:

This was my 3rd flight of the day on Southwest and I was impressed how they were going against the grain compared to traditional cost cutting measures employed by most airlines around the world these days. The crew made a really good impression on me even though this was a short flight. Friendly, enthusiastic and really look like they enjoyed their jobs and this was the same on all 3 flights that I did, that really shows a good company culture. One saw my filming and even asked “Do you need me to film anything for you?” Great to see. I also find the open seating where you can sit where you like, really works in your favour as long as you check in early! Nice to see an airline doing it different and making a fun experience.

The good summed up:

- Not one, but TWO free checked bags on all fares!
- Free snacks and beverages handed out on all flights.
- Enthusiastic crew, who looked like they were having fun while at work (See above).
- Clean aircraft.
- Friendly ground staff.
- Free entertainment streaming and free messaging through whatsapp/imessage.
- Consistency across all 3 of my flights!
- Open seating. You can sit where you like, just make sure you check in early and get on the aircraft early!

The improvements:

- One thing I did notice is that there were no larger food items available for purchase on my flights. This doesn’t worry me, but it may for some on longer 3 hour sectors who haven’t had a chance to eat in the terminal.

For what I paid, I had a lot thrown in. No complaints at all and a good impression left on me. I’d fly Southwest again any day. I hope this little summary helps display the little details which can’t be covered in the video!
