Verified Reviewer |I was charged almost $2100 to travel from Little Rock, AR to Boston, MA in the section called more leg room. I ended up paying for 5 inches more space. That was not fair. I did not see where this was
I felt I was cheated out of about $800 by flying economy plus for 5 inches of leg room. I thought I was flying first class.
It was not like being in first class. I was very disappointed.
- Assigned seats
- Not much difference between economy and the upgrade
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Don’t pay for 5 inches more leg room. Just fly economy.

Verified Reviewer |Unexpected charges
Southwest suddenly started additional charges to pick your seat and take baggage. I was unaware that they were now doing that and recently scheduled a flight that would have been quite a bit cheaper through a different airline. I used to automatically get my flights from Southwest, but I will have to compare prices with add-ons from now on.
- Are just like all other airlines now
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Don't automatically trust that Southwest will be the least expensive overall.

Verified Reviewer |Helpful service after a missed flight
- - Southwest Airlines staff provided a travel credit after a no-show.
- - The staff member showed kindness, patience, and understanding.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding customer service I recently received from Southwest Airlines.
I did not realize that I had a flight reservation scheduled for August 1, 2026. Because I missed the flight, it was canceled as a no-show, and I believed I had lost the value of my ticket. After reviewing my credit card statement, I discovered that I had made the reservation on June 12, 2026. I honestly did not remember making the reservation or receiving a confirmation.
When I contacted Customer Service, I had the pleasure of speaking with Vicki from Team Blue224. She went above and beyond to help me. Rather than allowing me to lose the value of my ticket, she took the time to review my situation and was able to provide me with a travel credit.
I am truly grateful for Vicki’s kindness, patience, and willingness to help. As a senior citizen, I greatly appreciated that she took the time to understand my situation instead of simply telling me there was nothing that could be done.
Please accept my sincere thanks, and please recognize Vicki for her exceptional customer service. Employees like her are a wonderful reflection of Southwest Airlines and are the reason customers continue to have confidence in your company.
User's recommendation: Yes, it’s a great airline to travel with and had wonderful customer support.

Verified ReviewerDamage my property
- - My shoes were destroyed and no action has been taken.
- - Customer service is mostly unhelpful and a few reps were helpful, but no answers yet.
I still have not got a response yet
My shoes got destroyed and now they're not doing anything about it. Customer service is very unhelpful for the most part, and I feel like I'm getting a runaround.
However, I have had a couple of customer service reps who were really helpful, but I'm still not getting answers to my issue. It's very frustrating.
- Flight was great
- Careless about luggage and baggage

Verified Reviewer |Baggage lost
I was late and was told my luggage would be on the next flight. It was not.
It wasn't even there the next day.
They finally called me and it has been a back and forth mess. I have no idea where my luggage is.

Cancellation
- - Trip to Dallas canceled; rebooked hours later, costly.
- - Wants refunds to credit card, not flight credits, for both bookings.
Southwest Airlines canceled my trip to Dallas and booked me on a flight several hours later, which would not satisfy my focus. This caused an enormous waste of time and, of course, booking with a different airline for more money than I would have paid. Additionally, they keep trying to give me flight credits even though I do not want to fly with them again, so I want to make sure I get all my money back transferred to my credit card, both for my reservation, which is under the name of Nitin Tandon, as well as for my son, Aditya Tandon.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Try not to fly southwest
