There are no baggage fees if you drive.
Some of us have an ocean to cross
Can’t drive or take the train to Europe, Africa or Asia or the Caribbean and Latin American. I guess you could drive the Pan American highway all the way to Panama if you don’t get killed in narco country.
SW needs to use their 737 Max 8,9,10 with ETOPs certs and the legs to cross the Atlantic and deep into Latin America across the Caribbean. Opening cheap flights and competition to the Caribbean island arc and Brazil, Argentina and Patagonia would have loads of people wanting to holiday down there. 800 dollar flights are a turn off $400 or $300 would sell out. The Max series has the legs and more importantly the fuel economy to allow for those price fares at $6.50 JETA per gallon.
I fly SW because they leave Love Field not DFW so much better airport experience at Love. I’ll connect to another airline at Atlanta, Denver if needed. This is what the CEO is trying to avoid have more direct connects from their hub at Love to international flights.
Domestic nothing beats JSX if they fly to where you need to be. They also fly out of a private gate and FBO at Love it’s exquisite. You show up 15 before your flight. They valet parking your car which is cleaned and detailed if you want on return. You hand the valet your bags they deal with them, you walk to a dedicated security metal detector or wand no shoes off,no pat down not harassment it’s all smiles and welcome. You chill in the lounge drinking commentary scotch in my case. Then walk in the tarmac to the aircraft door and off you go in a semi private experience. Best way to fly if you are not fully private charter.
