I've never had a lost bag, I print my boarding pass online and I barely have to talk to anyone, much less need customer service... and the few times I've needed actual customer service, like wanting US Airways to hold my luggage over an 8 hour layover (it was $500 roundtrip to London, and I simply took a train into town for the day, so it's not nearly as bad as it sounds), they've cooperated. Granted, I have made some pretty long drives because I prefer the legroom behind the wheel, IMO it's not nearly as hellish as people here make it out to be.
So, I don't know WTF you're all doing wrong.  |
When I fly Southwest I rarely expereince much of a delay. My most recent trip had me home 20 minutes early. That was f'in weird.
A week later I had to fly American to Baton Rouge, which meant layover in Dallas. All 4 legs of the trip were more than 30 minutes late.
