Let me preface this with the comment that I have circumnavigated the globe four times now. I have flown most airlines and most types of aircraft so I pretty well know what to expect when travelling economy. I know what I'm getting and with no unrealistic expectations I usually arrive at my destination in relatively good spirits.

However on this flight I encountered one of the most terse, abrupt and basically unprofessional male flight attendants that I have ever had the misfortune of flying with. His manner was one of feigned tolerance, and his treatment of the passengers that I could witness was one of snide disdain rather than service delivery. I am aware that we all tend to have a bad day at some point in our routine but this fellow went far beyond that. He bordered on rudeness to the point that I would seriously seek another carrier rather than have to put up with his antics again.

“Too many good features make Southwest irresistible”

Southwest

Three reasons make travel on Southwest compelling: 1. the ability to exchange flights without financial penalty. 2. Two free bags. 3. Pleasant personnel nearly all the time.

Southwest used to be the least expensive option on the market and are generally fairly competitive, but they can be a bit more pricey than some online companies. I miss their excellent sales. They exist, but are harder to find unless one knows travel dates several months ahead of time.

I don't mind signing in 24 hours ahead to get a number for seat selection by place in line. It is getting more difficult to get a good place in line, however, because they are now charging extra for the privilege. I do understand their need to make a profit. Most of the time, flight personnel are pleasant, enjoyable, thoughtful people. In all the years we have flown Southwest, we have only had one somewhat high-strung individual in charge of the service. She would have been fine in another capacity in the company. More often, they are a creative, humorous, fun-loving lot who seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. I heartily recommend travel on Southwest Airlines.
