They cancelled my return flight from Cancun at 4am Tuesday. Got a couple of flights on United and got home. Put in for a refund, we'll see how that goes.....

We were close to getting stuck in Orlando Saturday night on our way back from Montego Bay. They were cancelling flights left and right. Our flight was supposed to leave at 6:30p but we didn't actually leave until 11:30p. They were short flight attendants but were able to scrounge two up so we ended up getting home. If they would have cancelled, who knows how long it would have taken us to get back.

Even though we made it home, SWA sent me $100 voucher for the hassle. Hopefully they do better than that for you, Bob.

Glad it wasn't too bad Gary. Thing is they didn't try to rebook they just left everyone there.
Airlines are great till they aren't.
They're saying they'll refund but it will probably be a while. I'll avoid them till they get there act together.

On the course!
I can't imagine what this will cost them. Probably far more than paying to upgrade the system.

You will get your refund. I did during the covid shit instead of a credit. I still hate all airlines. It won't take long either.

I hate that the airlines LIE about what the real problem is. SWA has serious problems with their computer systems.

Great luck right there. So many people and SWA employees are stuck. For DAYS!

@8:15 :scared:scared:scared Imagine getting arrested for trespassing for not leaving the terminal after having your flight cancelled. . I think I'd want my day in court for that one.

On the Monday after Christmas Day, the couple flew to Nashville, where they then waited for word on their Southwest Airlines connecting flight. The Grasenicks cooled their heels for hours before they learned that the flight was canceled and there was no other way to reach Fort Lauderdale in time for their honeymoon cruise. The pair had no choice but to make the long drive back home.

The cruise people will have to refund them.

I bet SWA doesn't refund the flight to Nashville. :lol:
Or the drive back.

I don't think there isn't anywhere else I would rather be even though I hate the Packers. . Plus I can handle an ice shack in the winter.

Yeah. Your humor never gets fresh.

I can't understand why you guys would live in the 2nd coldest state with the nation's highest suicide rate. It just seems absolutely miserable.

Didn’t realize it was the nations highest suicide rate. Its getting warmer lol. I mean it’s all relative, I can understand, people who weren’t raised here would
avoid the cold and trust me there are blocks of winter I wish I was gone. We got 2 feet of snow 2 weeks ago that was a lot of work to move off the deck and then have it removed from the roof so then the deck had to be done again lol, cursing at every shoveling motion. Then followed with -10 temps for about a week but now it’s in the mid 30s and feels wonderful. Don’t know how to explain it. Up north where I live we have sandy bottom lake after sandy bottom lake. No water moccasins, no recluse spiders, no poisonous snakes, no gators, no possums.. just mosquitos. Northern Wisconsin is much different than southern.. we have far less people. Less violent crime and is much colder and snowy. I live in Solon Springs which is about 500 people. We have 5 bars/restraunts, hardware, dollar store, NAPA, and gas station. Next town is 7 miles away and they have about the same. Where I live 24/7 is where people come to vacation cause we are surrounded with lakes and trails.. kind of funny how many friends I have made that I won’t see til may who are in florida now or went back to chicago or Minneapolis for the winter.
