Southwest Airlines

I will send a written statement to all the issues that we dealt with. I just spoke with Leanne with customer care service who basically sent me to southwest.com.

If you should wish to call me my number is 903-216-****. I was on flight WN528 gate 19 July 27, 2025. I was met in Dallas with absolutely no assistance. I was wheelchair bound and could not get any help after an hour delay because you couldnt get a pilot you gave him a flight to Arizona instead of the flight that he was supposed to do from Austin to Dallas.

I sit on a hot plane for an hour by myself because they had gotten rid of the wheelchair and I couldnt walk back down the ramp they didnt know when a pilot would be assigned because there was no pilot assigned during that. My family noticed an unattended bag first when I went to the girls at the desk and they were the only people with Southwest that we could see no security no helpers nobody but two girls when I told one of them or asked one of them for help that I needed help. I was traveling with a three-year-old the 13-year-old, my daughter who had the car seat stroller my husband who is 78 and our luggage and me being in a wheelchair which he wheeled me to from the plane to the luggage area then we looked for help again there was no help to be found so I went up to the girl behind the desk and asked her for help. I explained the situation that I was in a wheelchair.

I had hobbled up there because he was trying my husband was trying to find some help or baggage push racks when I went up to the girl and told her I needed help. She said there was no help and that if I needed a cart, they were right there, and she pointed behind her and that they cost money after being on a hot plane for an hour by myself waiting for a pilot to be assigned totaling over three hours that I was in the airport in pain not happy. I did tell her that I thought that was basically *** Her attitude towards me infuriated me. Her arms were folded.

Her body language was not. Im sorry we dont have anyone to help you you know or let me see if I can find somebody know I got a very bad attitude and was told right over there is the carts and they cost money. Let me explain something we have used capital one Southwest for everything we have believed in your company for as long as I can remember and Im 65 in October wouldnt have flown any other airline. Your reputation has been stellar over the years.

I understand you got bought out and I knew there were changes but to tell you who we are when you like everyone else was having trouble during Covid we bought some kind of. Ill call it a gift card we pre-bought and gave you money so you could have money in your car so you could stay flying. We gave you our money interest free for a future date to be used. By the way we couldnt use them all and we couldnt use all our points because you have new rules thats an issue.

Ill let my husband explain, but lets go back to the girl that wasnt willing to help me I got back to where our luggage was and my daughter and two granddaughters and her husband because my husband was still trying to get a cart and once he put his card in to get the cart, it told him that there was a problem and to call an 800 number which he did and it said that they will return the call so now we cant even get a cart to help us and you want us to call at 800 number and call us back at an airport when I did get to back to my children, my daughter informed me that there had been a bag left by this point. Most of the people had left because again we were trying to get help to get out of the airport when she informed me of the bag I went back up to the very front where those two women were was black and heavier set just so you can identify her. She when I told her about the bag being left alone. She let me know she get around to it basically that she wasnt gonna do anything.

I said say something say something do something that bag has been sitting there unattended. My family is over there. There are people in this airport that could be a bomb Ill get around to. It was her response as she stood there with her arms crossed looking at me and I said well Ill just stand here until you do unfortunately I couldnt stand there because Im disabled I couldnt do I could barely walk.

I informed the other young woman behind the desk. This one was in front of the desk. The other one was physically behind the desk. I told her about the bag that was unattended.

She told me she had a lot of problems and that she had shed been real busy. I thought OK thats your job. I understood supposedly when you didnt have a pallet assigned and you switched them to another flight and I said on an airplane by myself, only passenger and a hot airplane for over an hour. I didnt take that out on them.

I didnt even tell him about it. I was identifying a different two different problems I needed help, and there was no help to be had. Finally, she told me the girl behind the desk that they would have to call the Dallas Police Department. I said get on the phone and hit 911.

Theres people lie mistake. See something say something do something. They didnt seem willing to do anything except make me matter so my only choice was to go back to my family hobble back over there to my wheelchair by that time, my husband to come back from trying to get a cart that he couldnt get and I informed some of the people standing around that bag that they might want to get their bags on another side and get away from that bag because it had been left unattended, they got it. Those four young women got what I was saying the other people that I told about it because you can tell I have loud voice so when I say theres an unattended bag and that Southwest doesnt care and theyre not coming, theyre not sending the Calvary theyre not sending security.

Theyre not doing anything. People started moving thank God thank God that wasnt a bomb because you were willing to do nothing. Nothing not for me not for my family you had little regard for my Disability. No, you had no regard for me.

We own stalking your company that was gonna send those grandchildren that I talked about to school to college, we have believed in Southwest with all of our heart. I grew up in Dallas. Ive been flying Southwest since I was old enough to fly to say that Im extremely upset and disappointed would be an understatement. Id like to know and Im sure I can find out because my husband is a lawyer, but what the American disabilities act consist of does it consist of an airline just giving you a wheelchair and telling you do the best you can with it does it tell you we dont have anybody to help you too bad were sorry youre in a wheelchair, were sorry theres a bag there, but well get around to it and hopefully it wont blow up the airport and the attitude that I received from those girls was absolutely horrific so well see if somebody from your organization can call me and see how were gonna resolve this because Ive been true to you.

My family has been loyal during the hard times that you had and you wouldnt even let me use my points in those tickets to pay for the flight for six of us. My husband knows some details on that hes been pretty upset, but in spite of all that we still were using the southwest airline capital one card we wont be using you again. Can you blame me? I blame you wholeheartedly.

My phone number is 903-216-****.

My husbands number is 903574****. Lets see how you handle this problem because you havent been able to handle any of the others and you created more than you handled

I was initially so upset that I couldnt write a review. However after learning that Southwest Airlines stranded two blind women, I just had to speak out at my disappointment with not only the scheduling of their flights but their customer service at the kiosk.

Each of my four flights were delayed by more than an hour up to as much as two hours. My return flight from Denver to Los Angeles was canceled all together. I had to beg for standby boarding passes in order to get out of Denver in less than the 11 hours they told me it would take to get on another flight. Southwest didnt even tell me about the flights I could try to get on.

Information on attempting to get on an earlier flight was given to me by friends, not by Southwest Airlines. I do still have rapid rewards, but after I have used them I am done .
