Whataburger's Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuit with Sausage and Egg is my favorite breakfast sandwich. The one time I had their pancakes, they were pretty good. And I rather like their sausage-egg-cheese taquitos. So yeah, Whataburger early in the morning, even if you don't fancy a burger at that time.

WN Flight Attendant here. Wanted to say hi and I greatly enjoy watching your different experiences during your travels! Longest day, on duty for me was a 17 hour duty day on one plane (yes, you read that right). During the beginning of recovery of COVID when flying has picked up faster than we can bring employees and planes back. We originated a 737-700 in Cleveland and terminated it in Miami. Our original routing was supposed to be CLE-BNA-PNS-BWI-MIA. But due to thunderstorms in BNA that morning, we ended up diverting to ATL instead before we made our way back to BNA but not before a ground stop since the storms stalled directly over BNA airport. 5 flights, 3 sets of pilots, 17 hours, and one single plane later, we finally made it to Miami. In case you’re wondering. No, the flight attendants did not step foot off that same aircraft the entire day since it was just constant quick turns after quick turns.

[@KellisasPath]

Southwest took great care of my family on our 8 flight and 21 hour day one one plane. They even made a video.

I haven't done anything crazy like hop around the country on one plane, but one time, I did fly on United from New Orleans to Newark, so I could connect to a 777-300 flight on to San Francisco. I had never flown a 777 and that was an opportunity to do so. I also did an around the world business class journey using SkyTeam miles. I went from New Orleans, to Los Angeles, to Seattle, to London, to Rome, to Seoul, to New York, to New Orleans. Got my one and only A380 experience on Korean A380 between ICN and JFK.

[@johnglowinski1321]

What's always fun is when you have to plan your own re-route because of the weather. I once hopped on one of the last SWA planes out of Midway before a snowstorm hit having personally come up with the 3 stop routing to my destination before I jumped onboard. The 1-800 customer service guy was fantastic as I was sitting in the terminal w/ snow falling all around, followed along on his computer, and booked all my tickets in some oddball routing way more complicated than the computer could ever figure out. But 4 flights and 3 planes later I was at my destination probably only about 6 hours tardy. Still, I got there that day! TY SWA.

[@ARK613]

I grew up in the Long Beach area. Jetblue used to serve that airport , and it's so much nicer flying out of there , than sitting in traffic to/from LAX. I heard that , when Jetblue left Long Beach , Southwest bought all of their slots.

Hey Noel was amazing as always to join you aboard, glad you had a great trip! I recently read a book by Simon Sinak, he mentions how Southwest's strong sense of purpose, driven by Herb Kelleher's values, has revolutionised the airline industry. Putting their 'why' first, not just the 'what' or 'how,' has turned Southwest into more than just a company - it's a force for change. This reminds us all that success comes from staying true to our core values.

[@Flutterwhat]

Kattaru from patron here: I could not resist the urge. The wheelchairs in Dallas: From what I've heard, Dallas Love uses Prospect Airport Services, but like always SW pax be wilding. The Black chairs are for the proper airline, but The blue chair most likely belongs to entirely different contractor, and at my airport those blue Staxi wheelchairs would belong to Jet blue. I hope they get their chair back!

In 2003 I took a SWA Flight from Albany, NY to Burbank via BWI, MEM, HOU, and ABQ. The agents joked it was their "See America Tour". The flight continued on to Oakland, and there was on Pax onboard who did that whole trip!

[@Brenda-f9y]

Glad to see you finally doing a Southwest Airlines flight! That's the ONLY airline I'll ever take especially after having 2 American Airlines flights (departure and return) barely landing before their engines quit and we had to be pulled to the gate. The departure flight literally just barely got on the ground in the city I was traveling to before the engines quit. Then I took a Delta flight and was discriminated against because I'm wheelchair bound and in my 50's yet they forced me to pay for a ticket to have one of their employees travel with me which I have never and would never need. Trust me if we have to make an emergency landing I'll be the absolute first person to go down that shoot with absolutely no help from anyone! Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean we're unable to help ourselves or unable to be completely independent. I used to work for Southwest as a reservation agent so I have always loved them. Plus they understand how to make those of us with disabilities not feel like we're unable to do anything ourselves. Welcome to KCI airport! I was born in Missouri and grew up in Kansas. I'm actually glad that you got off the plane in KC so I could get a little glimpse of the new terminal since I'll be flying back home to KC to visit family in July. It definitely looks a lot better than the old terminal that is for sure!

[@kurohone]

Southwest's model is really good for passengers when things go right, but when the FAA had that system crash it hurt SWA more than most because their planes were scattered far and wide. I wish more airlines used this old bus route model, but hub-and-stoke sadly makes a lot more sense from an airline point of view.

[@timmonsthomas]

I remember when Southwest had that system malfunction at Christmas time, 2022. I was one of the lucky ones who ended up spending the night in the Baltimore airport because of it.

[@khausere7]

In the past few years I've take a few SWA flights that eventually got me to my destination. The first was Grand Rapids - Chicago - Dallas - Albuquerque, and then a few months later it was Grand Rapids - Chicago - Colorado Springs - Las Vegas (overnight) then on to Long Beach to visit family. I'd like to fly them more often, but I have a couple of airports closer to home so now it's Delta, United or occasionally American. Good video - glad you shared your experience.

[@timdawg53]

I just flew Southwest last week, and I was even in Houston Hobby airport for a very short layover. Southwest is my favorite airline. A couple of times I got continuing flights going to Midland, TX. One time it was 3 flights ATL-MSY-HOU-MAF, another was 2 flights ATL-HOU-MAF. With Southwest's open seating policy I can make a last minute decision which side to sit on. I often lookup the digital ATIS and load the planned route in Navigraph just before the flight to determine which side of the plane might have the best view, especially during departure or approach.

[@scottstovall4080]

Back in 1995 I flew on Southwest from Spokane, WA to Midland, TX. Here was my route: Spokane to Boise, Boise to Reno, Reno to L.A., L.A. to El Paso (all of those flights were on the same plane), and then El Paso to Midland. I wasn't on the same plane as long as you were, but almost! I enjoy your videos!!!

I've been flying Southwest monthly for about the last year. I used to be very against Southwest, but it's been the most convenient option for my work schedule and destination. At this point, the experience on Southwest isn't that much different from the other big three in the US, outside of being able to pick your seat. I will say though that I try to get on the MAX-8 whenever possible. The 737 NGs for Southwest, the seats and tray tables are a bit weird and I don't find them as comfortable as the seats they've put into the MAX.

[@MrOfficialscotty]

Honestly, I love flying Southwest! The flight attendants some of my past flights were pretty chill. No assigned seats, I always snag a window seat towards the back of the plane. Really good prices and on sale on certain days. I also like their cancel flight policy, you get flight credit towards your next rescheduled trip. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You can do HOU to DAL via MDW, CLT, BWI, CHS for the east coast if you like, with a night in Charleston before coming back to DAL. I was looking at CLT flights and ours tend to be just MDW or BWI where the flight number changes, so you have to go into FR24 and search a flight out of the departure airport and look at the plane’s reg and see where the specific jet goes vs what the flight number does to see what the route really is.

You've been missing out by not stopping at Long Beach before. Getting to walk across the tarmac and board via air stairs at *both* the front and back end of the plane is quite a unique experience in the US. Back before Long Beach was a Southwest hub, it was Jet Blue's old hub, and they used the same boarding process there. Long Beach also takes advantage of how good their weather is by having a literal outdoor walk between their north and south gates and (last I checked) having a baggage claim that's open to the air on the side.

17:07 - The old lady in the seat next to you freaked out when you said tired! 😀

Great video as usual. Just a note... when you showed the baggage handlers, you were showing human remains being transferred in two clips.

So I wasn't crazy those two boxes where indeed bodies.

[@toddgelineau6536]

@@kmay0117yes. If you look closely the end of the top of each box was marked “head”

[@heathercampbell535]

The second one had the name of the funeral home on it!

That sounds like my kind of Day Out! I took three flights in January just to end up at the same place I started from. It wasn't the same flight number of course, in fact it was three different airlines. There was a couple of trains and a bus involved too but just sometimes it is the journey that is more important than the destination, especially on a dull winter's day.

I always take Southwest from Sacramento to Chicago, next trip the end of June, used to work for southwest on the ramp at OAK a while back. Taking amrak's california zephyr back from Chicago to Sacramento, its such an awesome trip. It's addicting.

Sounds great. I have 3 Amtrak videos, you can see them here kzbin.info/aero/PLguXYxAmlm-ZLcbTooiBp--51AL9owfIQ

Being a business traveller , I've flown with SWA about every week for the last 10 years ... The open seating is what I like the best, choose your own seat ,boarding completes faster than assigned seating is what made them different ... Sadly are changing to assigned seating making SWA just another airline...

That brought back memories. Love it. Great video. I was based in DAL and HOU. We didn't fly to Long Beach at the time so never got to overtnight there. Safe travels.

The most unique routing I've ever had was ZRH-XFW-JMK-ATH on an Aegean A320. It was a charter full of AvGeeks though and included an Airbus factory tour at XFW and a sunset party at JMK. The total trip took about 15 hours

Us Kansas Citians love our new airport. Glad you like it too!
