Southwest Airlines rocks!
So, I called Hubby from the airport to ask him if he could bring me something to drink because I was so dehydrated after my flight. Unfortunately, he'd already left home. But a Southwest Airlines employee* overheard me and -- before I could even finish whining to my husband -- popped open a can of water and handed it to me.
Isn't that nice?!?! I love Southwest Airlines and their people.
Especially in contrast to the airline I flew home from Bellingham, Allegiant. They nickel and dime you for everything. If I'd wanted a can of water from them it would have probably cost $5.**
*If anyone from Southwest Airlines corporate reads this, I didn't get his name, but it was a 20ish or 30ish male, flight attendant (?) in uniform with his personal baggage, at 10:30 pm Monday, June 23, in the elevator to baggage claim at McCarran airport. If you can pass on a "Thanks!!!" and how much his action further impressed on me the ethos Southwest Airlines, I'd appreciate it. Definitely my first-choice airline on the routes that Southwest flies.
**Allegiant is so egregious in this practice that it's one of the main things they're known for. Last time Hubby and I flew to Bellingham on Allegiant, they made an announcement as we were departing the plane asking passengers to help them with their turnaround by buckling all the seatbelts on our seats as we got up. Hubby shouted out his price to perform this service -- "FIVE DOLLARS!" -- and cracked up our whole section of the plane
