There’s nothing like flying with an airline that completely makes your traveling experience enjoyable and stress-free. These relaxing flights make business trips and family vacations just that much more enjoyable. For some, the check-in procedures can be an anxious time in a trip, however, certain perks can make it easier. Southwest Airlines has been known for the overall incredibly easy and friendly airline, from the flight crew to customer service but is also known for its special features like the EarlyBird service that automatically checks you in. Above all, there’s no worse feeling than bringing your family on their first vacation only to find out that you’re not sitting together. Luckily, Southwest Airlines puts families first and even offers priority boarding for families with children under six years old.

While some airlines are known for making passengers feel rushed and undervalued, Southwest Airlines has been receiving a fair amount of praise in the aviation industry. It’s also important for airlines to not only reward their passengers with point systems and special rates, but those working directly with the airline are also bringing awareness to the generous salaries and benefits that Southwest has to offer. When you have happy flight attendants and friendly customer service an incredible experience, especially when it’s your first flight!

With The EarlyBird Feature, Southwest Will Automatically Check You In

It can be a difficult and stressful time when passengers rush to pack their bags and make it to the airport, sometimes up to three hours in advance. And if you’re a person who’s always fashionably always late, checking in can even be a major scheduling problem in your day. Luckily, Southwest Airlines considered people of all walks of organizational-lifestyle and created their EarlyBird feature.

For a small fee ranging from $15.00 to $25.00, the EarlyBird Check-In will automatically sign each guest 36 hours before take-off. In addition, as Southwest offers guests to choose their seats once they arrive onboard the aircraft, the EarlyBird Check-In service will also designate a passenger with the best seats.

Southwest Offers Two Free Checked Bags And A Free Carry On

If there’s one thing that all travelers can agree on is that paying for luggage is the absolutely worst. Most airlines around the world allow one free carry-on, and occasionally they’ll even allow free luggage, however, you’re most likely paying for your bag to follow you to your final destination. With one suitcase and one carry-on, packing can become challenging to keep it at a certain weight. Once a suitcase reaches a specific weight capacity, an additional $75 fee will be charged before receiving your boarding ticket.

Thankfully, Southwest Airlines totally gets it. They offer their loyal passengers the freedom to pack what they want and split it into two bags for absolutely free, so long as they meet the weight requirement. Two full suitcases and a carry-on, you’ll be all set with enough change of clothes for any occasion.

Pick A Seat, Any Seat

One thing that travelers absolutely hate when they fly is the seat constraints. We know, as active passionate travelers, which seats are the better ones and which seats will make you run for the brown paper bag. It’s also important to know where the kitchen is located to avoid the smell of food. On larger planes, they’ll be located in the middle and the back whereas smaller aircraft will have kitchens at the rear.

Luckily and thankfully, Southwest Airlines allows passengers to choose any seat they’d like once they board. Families get priority seating, which is phenomenal news for families as most airlines will separate to accommodate travelers who already have assigned seating. Any families with children under the age of six years old are considered group A and are allowed to board first and select any groups of seats they prefer.

Travelers Can Enjoy Free Inflight Movies And (Paid) Wi-Fi

There is nothing like flying high in the sky, above all the clouds and overcrowded cities, feeling completely free and totally bored. Laptops, tablets, and phones will be placed on airplane mode once travelers board the aircraft, leaving only downloaded content available to use. However, Southwest Airlines now offers paid WiFi where passengers are able to send messages through Messenger and access the internet.

Most importantly, Southwest also provides guests with unlimited inflight movies, completely free, and digital content. These digital contents include podcasts, music channels, and satellite radio. Say goodbye to boredom, sleeping away on a perfectly good flight, and enjoy the time and ability to watch your favorite and most anticipated movies.

Enjoy Your Flight With The Friendliest Flight Attendants In The Sky

Southwest Airlines have been reviewed and awarded for having the best customer service, cabin crew, and maintenance employees. Flight attendants are also known for being the happiest crew in contrast to other airlines.

In fact, Southwest flight attendants have been rated for being the happiest in their fields in regard to their salaries with the ability to work overtime. Flight attendants working with Southwest Airlines are offered $22 as a starting salary with an increase every year. There’s nothing like a flight attendant who loves her job and her salary. That calls for one awesome stress-free flight.

What stands out with working through Southwest Airlines is the ability for flight attendants and their families to travel the world completely free. While some airlines will offer families discounted rates, standby options, or a certain amount of free-fly time, Southwest Airlines offers unlimited free traveling privileges for children under 19, children over 19 but in school, and partners.
