.@mco @SouthwestAir terminal train down and passengers are being bussed? Any estimate how many people might miss their flights this morning as a result?

No surprise that T-Mobile sponsors the WiFi on Southwest Airlines and the last 2 flight to the wifi is down.

5mo

Is @SouthwestAir down nationwide? Waiting to take off from Tampa to Austin and being told there’s a major system outage. Haven’t read anything.

7mo

What’s the point in upgrading your seats do you can have wifi if the WiFi is always down, @SouthwestAir ? This is getting kinda old.

7mo

Why is @SouthwestAir acting like assigned seating is a win? It’s not. Their open boarding is what makes them efficient—assigned seats will only mean longer boarding times. This is also a result of their 2022 holiday scheduling crisis, the trickle down effects has been brutal.

Hey, @SouthwestAir. Is the app down? I can’t log into my account.

8mo

Disappointed but not surprised that while @SouthwestAir makes all these costly changes to consumers to save themselves a buck, their app goes down right as they do a flash promo lol

I hope southwest plans on extending the companion pass opportunity since I can book my flight due to the site being down @SouthwestAir

Is @SouthwestAir not flying anywhere east coast now from Phx? Or is the website down?

Trying to book a flight but keep getting errors @SouthwestAir is the website down right now?

Is @SouthwestAir website not working? Every time I try to search for flights it’s says route cannot be booked. I’ve even tried changing the airport

Dang @SouthwestAir is striking out on this flight. WiFi not working and a broken bathroom….should be a fun 4+ hr flight

No rain but @SouthwestAir had issues with flooding that caused issues in the NOC today. Systemwide outage. $LUV #southwestair

~40% of @SouthwestAir flights delayed today in part due to bad NE weather and an IT outage. SWA says it "temporarily paused departures this afternoon due to a brief outage that affected network connectivity to our dispatching and operations system. The system has been restored"

Thanks @SouthwestAir for having an outage and leaving us stuck in #LasVegas on a hot plane on our way to annual @TwinsDaysFest #Twinning

At @DallasLoveField - pilot just told us there is a system wide outage of @SouthwestAir and planes cannot prepare for departure. Been sitting at the gate loaded for over 45 minutes waiting for it to come back up so we can push back for takeoff. #dallas #Southwest

Tried to call @SouthwestAir to see what's going on with my claim for damaged baggage & they just hung up on me 🙃 their customer service has gone down for sure.

10mo

Oooof @SouthwestAir check in down and 2-3hr wait on phone queue. Not a good start to vacation :/

10mo

Hey @SouthwestAir … why is it that your customer service has gone down the drain? I’ve already wasted hours trying to simply change my last name on my RR and I’m told it will now take 60 days to process? …I’ve gotten my TSA and Passport updated already…

10mo

Hey @SouthwestAir would be nice to know if I change a time on a flight I booked months ago, I now have to pay for my bags. I’m sure I’m one of many customers that is down with your airline ✌️

So @SouthwestAir you all didn't think it would be a good idea to send out alerts about the power outage at the St. Louis airport?!😡😡😡
