I think I'm gonna hang out by the Delta gates and act all  before pretending I have to take a leak and sneaking into the SW cattle line

SW doesn't stick you on regional jets

[michigancat]

this is the f*cking stupidest thread in history.  (although 42 is rescuing)

SW doesn't stick you on regional jets

And they occasionally rap/rhyme the safety instructions.

However, we fly Delta and United exclusively these days.

Hate to get all EMADAGy on you, but I love some regional jets.  E-170s or E-190s>>>>>>737-700s

Did that exact flight last year.  Pretty elite route.

Southwest has improved quite a bit.  Biggest annoyance is the other passengers, but at least you get to choose who you sit by.

Back in the day they would just say "A GROUP GET IN LINE" and then rough ridin' everyone would get in line.  Now they make you line up by number, which is much nicer.

Has anyone ever flown Southwest and had a layover?

i think southwest is ok.

[OK_Cat]

yeah, SD is usually right-on about stuff, but he's way off the mark on this one.  Southwest is by far the elite airline provider.

By far.

give me assigned seats, layovers and paying for my 50 lb check in bag any day of the week.

I'm 6'4". I got stuck on a regional jet from San Antonio to Detroit last month...that's basically Mexico to Canada. After I got off the flight, I wanted to go into a murderous Godzilla-esque rampage but I realized, hey, it was Detroit, somebody had already done it

Regional jets = the opposite of elite. Plus, bags don't fly free on them

Also, 

had this guy once. He alone destroys all other airlines.

No offense to people who suck at flying (and thus, at life) but anyone who checks a bag for anything less than a 2 week trip shouldn't be discussing flying, airports or travel in general.

Sorry to ice your post here bro, but I often end up going north to Wisconsin for a week or a 10-day stint in the dead of winter because of family obligations. Because of my elite tallness, the trip requires not only some t-shirts and boxers but some bulky-ass sweatshirts, sweaters, and jeans (and we're talking like 2-3 of each at the very least because I'm not wearing the same crap every day). Oh, and don't forget my winter coat that is the size of Rhode Island but warm as hell. I'm not taking that damn thing on the plane with me, and the coat alone won't fit into a carry-on.

Hate to say it steve, but you = LTTWSLTACIQ (low traveling to what seems like the Arctic Circle IQ). I totally agree with your point if you're going to some crappy-ass state like Texas or something

42, Maybe you can start a non-elite-travelers thread with ideas about how best to shove your clothes into a huge pile in your bag and how you like to bring a full size shampoo bottle everywhere you go
