[quote=Anonymous]We live in DC and never utilize SWA because I have never found the flights to be competitively priced or even applicable to us. I guess if you fly to Texas or Florida a lot, SWA might make sense. But we only really fly to Los Angeles (family) or overseas (business & leisure), or quick flights to NYC that leave DCA hourly. I feel that SWA only makes sense if you’re doing the companion pass game AND you book the cheapest fares that become available when SWA releases their schedule far in advance.

I’ve never found a date to Souther California on SWA from BWI that was competitively priced or didn’t involved multiple stops. Whereas I can fly direct out of DCA or IAD with American, Alaska, or United for $300-400 RT (assuming not Xmas or Thanksgiving).

In fact, I think SWA prices a lot of their economy fares as if the customer does have the companion pass. So sure, maybe $600 RT for one economy ticket makes sense if the other is free. But if you don’t have the Companion Pass, you’re better off just going with one of the major airlines.  [/quote]
