I only flew southwest once. Wierded me out I'd never seen rush seating for an airplane before lol

They also had me 45 minutes late on a half hour flight from San Jose to LAX. could happen to anyone though.. and it got me stuck in LA for a weekend, which I didn't mind terribly much. Well except for the bit that the only hotel I could find on a Friday night was in Inglewood

For the life of me, I can't get more than 10K miles on a set of rears. That's pretty much every 6-7 months. But I only change out fronts every other set of rears - they usually last a year. So I typically spend around $2K per year on tires

i manage to get about 15k out of mine lol

Depending on when you are traveling, Southwest fares are about $125 one way, and from STL to ATL $99.

i didn't see southwest being 99 atl to stl?

I fly SW about once a month on average. I think there are more flights in Texas, being the airline's home state. Rarely ever delayed and never cancelled.

Rush seating makes it sound like the first person to the plane gets the best seat lol. You get a number and board in order; the number is assigned based on when you check in or if you have status or pay extra for early automatic check-in. The earlier you are in the order, the more seating options you will have when you board. I like it much better than having to pay extra for a damn window seat on virtually every other airline now.

The company I work for primarily uses Southwest for travel. I do enough traveling to be A-list, and I'm a little over halfway to A-list Preferred. My trip to Orlando in October only cost me $13.50...

This is the sole reason I refuse to fly SW anymore. Used to fly them back in college for trips with friends and they were fine, usually on time but I hated the whole boarding process. I want assigned seating, but then again as a frequent business traveler I'm pretty biased against these budget airlines and specifically the class of people that fly them.

There's really no good domestic airline sadly. I personally fly United as I have status and they have the best flight options for me. My preferred domestic carrier is Delta.

Standard budget airline ... check the fine print on those ticket prices

Ryanair based in Ireland has 0.99 Euro fares all the time but there's like 50 Euro in taxes and fees. It's still inexpensive, just not quite as much as they might like you to think.

Reps came late today. Appt with orthopedic surgeon for my wife. He says he can fix her knee, which is good because I'm kinda attached to the old lady and I didn't really want to have to take her out behind the barn and shoot her.
