Southwest Airlines Pros and Cons - AirAdvisor Verdict

Strengths
  • chFriendly, attentive staff
  • chNo baggage fees
  • chTransparent pricing and no change fees
Weaknesses
  • chFrequent delays and cancellations
  • chInconsistent communications
  • chInadequate in-flight service on longer flights
Verdict: "Friendly staff and policies, but frequent delays and communication issues."

Southwest Airlines has been widely praised by reviewers for their all-around friendly flight, ground, and customer support staff, but most positive reviews mentioned the carrier’s generous baggage policy of 2 free checked bags as a huge advantage. Reviewers also appreciated the lack of hidden fees as well as the ability to make changes to flights without extra fees. Many complaints focused on the high number of flight disruptions as well as the poor communication from airline staff about these delays and cancellations. And while Southwest was lauded for their comfortable seating, they were criticized for their lack of drinks, meals, and in-flight service for trips under 2 hours.
