I don't check bags because a.) I can standby on an earlier flight or get on an earlier flight home at my connection point b.) No hassle picking up my bag c.) I don't want them to lose my bag, last time i checked my bag, they left it on the plane and it almost went on to vegas while i was in san...

Good for you! Guess what? I'll fly myself in a twin-engine prop with my pilot's license, and I'll take all the sunscreen, water, soda............pretty much whatever I want since TSA doesn't screen general aviation! :brick:

Thanks for the double post, and Southwest is one of the reasons why they keep the legacy carriers prices down so I can get elite status. :D

By the way, the "fun fares", "internet specials", and others are just a different form of booking codes. "Fun fares" usually mean that the cheaper fares are gone because of a half-full flight or you are out of the minimum days before flight purchase. "Internet specials" usually mean that the...

Remember though folks that those credits must be used within one year! :wave:

I know travel agents get discounts! :D

Exactly! Per TSA's website at http://www.tsa.gov/public/display?theme=183&content=09000519800b68b8 Am I wearing the right shoes? You are NOT REQUIRED to remove your shoes before you enter the walk-through metal detector. However, TSA screeners may encourage you to remove them before...

I'm telling you, read "1984" and you'll see where I'm coming from. Oh I show my ID......my Library of Congress card. It's a government-issued photo ID, so I can use it to get through security. Just my name and my picture on it is all that the boarding pass checkers and TSA need to know...

And this is what I fear our country is headed to. I play their game and follow their rules, why should I have to take off my shoes if they are less than an inch? We're getting closer and closer to becoming the old Soviet Union.

Hello! No one is going to try because it's already been tried! I love this country, but I'm not going to give up my right just for the name of "security".

I agree, I bet that Rob and myself fly more miles in a year than all of the posters in this thread combined. It is a big deal, have you ever read 1984? I feel like this is the first step at the government slowly taking away our rights. Also, has anyone since 9/11 been caught with a shoe bomb...

Well, I never check bags because I don't know if my bag is going to make it to me, I can get to the airport later, and I can take an eariler flight home if I want to. I carry on a bag within regs and I can pack a weeks worth of clothes in!

I agree. I wear 3/4'' sole Adidas shoes and I've never had a problem with them. I NEVER take my shoes off, even if they ask me to, I remind them of SOP and THEN all the sudden they let me through! Wear shoes less than an inch sole and you'll have no problems. Knowledge is power.

If you're going to/from San Diego, they are now testing assigned seating. It's official: Southwest to test assigned seating The carrier's assigned seating test will begin July 10 on about 200 selected flights departing from San Diego, USA TODAY reports. The test will run several weeks with...

I think this policy is fair. I have been crammed in a middle seat with 2 POS (Persons Of Size) in the aisle and window next to me on a MCO-PHX flight, it was not a fun 4 hour flight for me. If someone is going to spill over into my seating area that I paid for, then they should pay for the extra...

The seat width on Southwest is 17''.

Continental and Southwest are both fine airlines. Just don't get stuck in coach on Continental, their seats are not as "cushy" as other airlines, but I usually get upgraded. Continental also has "meals at mealtime" for FREE, which is the biggest plus for me. JetBlue is a great airline, but I...

Yep! Here's a list of most of the names for the planes. http://www.angelfire.com/dc2/icebird757/jetBluefleet.htm My favorite is "My Name is Blue, JetBlue". :p

There is usually a selection of 2 to 3 movies at $5.

Very true, I reccomend using Yahoo Dream Maps and Travelocity with the flexible dates for finding the cheapest fares.
