All the damn fees. $15 just to check one bag?

Not to mention the flight experience is garbage. I don't mind the layovers. But then there's the long *$% security checkpoints and overpriced food inthe terminals.


BWI airport > _____ though

southwest airlines FTW...seriously. best domestic airline BY FAR

 

[november33rd]

Southwest is the best and they have the best commercials. They just need to start offering more flights to more airports in more cities. If I could I'd flywith them everytime.

 

[shoefreak77]

although Southwest feels like you are riding a giant school bus with wings (the imfamous line-ups), it is definitely the best airline to fly...they have gottenmuch better since implementing some structure with the numbering system...
airlines charging to check a bag is crazy...next thing they will be charging for carry-ons!

word, plus it seems like their the only airline making money. They don't charge for nothing

 

[queencitysneakerqueen]

$15 a bag and $3 for snacks

 

[maw]

this is outrageous. Some day they are gonna charge u such and such based on what you wear like hats and junk

 

[trueshotaura]

I know how you feel. I was a 15 hour flight away from home and only had $5. Couldn't buy any food so I had a crunch bar @ 2.99

 

[doublejs07]

Just whatever you do...DON'T FLY SPIRIT!! If you've got to fly over an ocean on Spirit, you'd be more comfortable swimming...no joke. My legs arestill asleep.

 

[lazyj10]

I hate how I booked my flight to Greece during a "sale" only to find the price go down (a couple hundred bucks, too) AFTER the sale....like who toutsa sale and then lowers the price afterward?

 

[elocin023]

Spirit just changed their prices, it was different in Feb.

and just think about them charging to use the bathroom!!

 

[jumpfreak23]

Why isn't Southwest listed in the chart?
