Will these make the difference when deciding on Southwest Hawaii flights or another airline?
Yeah ! Good for SW. It helps keep the competition balance same with the other airline
Continually Improving your Brand and Product as SWA slowly does is what keeps them viable for the long term. Regardless of the money they have accumulated over time SWA waits until they identify improvements, the costs, and move forward when they feel that is budgeted for but then again what do I know 🤔 Remember that SWA has more reasonable prices and has been known as “No Frills.” Makes many wonder why other, much more expensive (HWA) airlines cannot do better. HWA has had, as many have stated, the Largest Piece of Hawaiian Air Travel for Decades. Maybe the Competition will force HWA to reexamine, to better focus on its Commitment to Hawaii, to become a Stronger Airline in the end. Time will tell!
Love Southwest! Always thinking of their customers. They need to fly to/from San Luis Obispo!!
The space between rows and seat comfort is most important. On Southwest there’s no business class so they need to provide extra comfortable seating!
I feel these changes would be an asset to the company. I fly to Hawaii at least 2 times a year and will appreciate southwest changes.
Actually those changes don’t make a big difference for me. If the could have some editable food it would. United food was terrible
Waited with baited breath for SW to announce they are taking over the soon to be discontinued Los Angeles to Hilo route 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What about unlimited cake and ice cream?
How about Prime Rib on Brioche Buns with a side of double coated french fries for an awesome meal too?
Leg Room as well as these future enhancements is critical. If SWA is using 737 -800 leg room problem solved. SWA needs to have more layover time or improve on time take offs.
Over the last 3 decades, I have noticed the airline works to continually improve there product and customer relations. I do not work for SWA but I am a weekly customer.
Not sure why families will board before As, I pay early bird on every flight I take with sw. I only like an aisle seat now that u offer upgrades at airport it seems like my earl bird has gone from A20s to late A30s or 40s.
You do realize that currently, Family boarding boards after the first 60 people / 60 seats. The new way they are proposing them to do it would have them sitting after the first 90 seats.
15×6 = 90
That would mean More seats available up front.
However, Business customers and A-Listers are paying the highest fares, not Wanna Get Away Fares. If Southwest wants to remain competitive, they need to value their Business Select and A-Listers, first and foremost. Allowing families who didn’t pay an extra dime to board, and to get preferential treatment over the weekly traveler that spends way more, isn’t going to bode well with many flyers.
Don’t know if you realize this but currently families board after A group… that’s after the first 60 or so people. The proposed method is to board them first but make them take anything after row 15. That’s 90 seats left empty. How is that worse then the current way?
Because you can almost guarantee that all families will not follow the policy. Families will definitely take advantage of the family boarding. But once onboard, it is open seating, and an airline with an open seating policy, cannot and will not dictate where people can sit. And not all frequent fliers and business customers want the exit row. They are the ones paying the premium fares and should have priority where to sit on the airplane before anyone else.
I agree 100% IF they don’t enforce the the row 15 restriction. If they do, then it should be a problem.
