Too much work

I arrived at BWI and called SWA to see if I could get on an earlier flight. The representative said that there was plenty of room on the flight But I would have to get my boarding pass at the gate as it was with 30min of the departure time. I immediately proceeded through security and to the gate. I arrived and they were already boarding the flight, I checked with the gate agent and told him was the SWA rep told me to do, and he simply said “its too late to get you on this flight (15 full minutes before the departure time, still scanning boarding passes at the door). I have been flying SWA for a very long time 20+ years, I have been A-List multiple times, seemed to me your gate agent didn’t help me because it would have required him to do some work - easier just to tell me it was too late. I’m done with SWA, loyalty means nothing, and for your employees, seems like it’s just a job.

Used to be better

SW used to be better but over the last few years their policy changes have really made them sucky.

Add to calendar needed

I loveeee this app and the app alerts (especially on time to check in) but I’m not sure why the add to calendar feature was removed. I really like having flight times and details on my Apple calendar that is shared with my family so they know when to expect flights in. Happy to go back to 5 starts as soon as I can get my flight details back on my calendar!
