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.

14d

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.

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

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…

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?!😡😡😡

My WiFi not working on my flight @SouthwestAir

Who else was on the Los Cabos flight yesterday that was canceled due to maintenance is filing a claim with @SouthwestAir ? Anyone else find it odd @SouthwestAir website claim form is down… No luck online or by calling in. Twitter SouthwestAir is

Customer service has gone down hill everywhere. “Here’s the QR code to corporate they’ll help you” @SouthwestAir after a gate change and no word for three hours to a cancellation.

Death, taxes, and a Southwest Airlines system outage.

Is @SouthwestAir experiencing an IT outage? Having trouble booking my flight with error code 500620193

Dear @SouthwestAir, Whoever is in charge of scheduling flights, tell them to reach out to the good folks over @PalantirTech to see if they can be of any assistance on bringing down the average travel time of your routes.

As of this weekend I will admit @SouthwestAir is hands down the best airline I’ve ever flown. Well Done

Is @SouthwestAir app and website down???

Best looking commercial bird out there...and BEST customer service, hands down. CANT change my mind! @SouthwestAir girl for life! https://t.co/Qbbbr2W9HD

Hey @SouthwestAir , your site and app are not letting me book a ticket. Are your systems down?

So tired of everything flight I'm on the wifi is down. @SouthwestAir EVERYTIME

Is the @SouthwestAir app down? I can’t log in.

Ok void… so the illegals app got shut down…. Is Southwest Airlines gonna get any flack for this? They had reservations booked on their flights and the money came from someone. Just saying
