I don't know what happened with Southwest, it used to be a great airlines. Now, I can't understand how the flight crews have become so unfriendly. But, ofcourse, they have no incentive to be professional and decent. Find another airline - seriously, never again.

We were to fly to New Orleans 7:45am with Early Bird tagged on. My wife went ahead as she was numbered earlier in the line. I was further behind and carried the bag as it is hard for my wife to lift to the overhead. She went in and got seated and saved a place for the bag above. I was just behind and they said I couldnt take on my bag as spaces were full. Even though my wife had saved a place for it!!! They held me back for ages and said either check it in or get another flight. We can’t check it in because it’s expensive delicate camera equipment. The staff are like a bad machine. Bad robots. Which means it’s a bad company. Don’t fly with them.
