Yes I fly alot and there is a generality IMO that Southwest has the best, friendliest flight attendants overall. The worst in my opinion is Spirit and United in a general sense. Always exceptions though not to lump them all together. The corporate culture has a lot to do with it too.

In the last 18 months I have had three round trips and the daughter has had one on Southwest from Flint or Grand Rapids, and we have been very pleased with the cost/performance of Southwest Airlines.

Just realize that the flight is just a short time. Just relax and make the best of it. Sometimes they are wild and sometimes they are as smooth as butter. But just remember, it will be over soon.

I would happily sit next to a crying baby or toddler. The sound doesn’t bother me at all.

Have been through it all with my kids

[AlmaKing]

And the worst advertising ever.

Fly to Florida for only $199 !!!1 *

* one way

Southwest has hardly ever been competitive in price even when I lived near Love Field.

I know some love them. But they’re gimmicky like every other airline.

I'd like to fly Air Asia sometime.

[albie]

Jet Blue is my favorite! Very accomodating.

I used to fly Northwest a couple times a month when we lived in the Twin Cities. One stewardess I recall wore a name tag that said “O. Miss.”

[Paved Paradise]

Oh, boy, I could not disagree MORE.

I fly Delta a lot - have often seen stewardesses calming fussing babies by walking up and down the aisle with them.
Very heartening to see.

I was on a Southwest flight from Denver to Las Vegas and they pulled off the runway and back into the terminal to kick off a lady with a child who wouldn’t calm down. The entire section she was in clapped as she was led off the plane.

The company has a history of hiring people with good personalities, and then promote a good attitude.

I’d prefer peace and quiet-—and I had kids too.

Reminds of Cosby’s “Jeffrey” routine.

[Rusty0604]

I’ve four kids. I actually got off a flight when it stopped in Vegas because of an obnoxious kid. I ended up getting a different connecting flight that got me home faster and saner:-)

[60Gunner]

I had to laugh (in a good way) when I read your post. it reminded me of my dad, who was an aircrewman aboard old A3D Skywarriors in the Navy.

He would say, "Every flight ends, one way or another."

Damn, I miss him. He was- and still is- my biggest hero.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I would go down on a plane with any one of those gals.. Wait..

[Slyfox]

Why do babies cry when the plane takes off?

I purposely did not "pop" my ears one time as the plane ascended just so I could feel what a baby feels because they don't know how to "pop" their ears.

I gotta say, it hurt like hell. It felt like someone was jabbing sharp pencils in both my ears, at the same time.

So, next time you hear a baby cry at take-off just remember it hurts like hell.

Southwest is hugely expensive. No bargain.
