I know what you're thinking, especially with the recent holiday meltdown of 2022, but Southwest is still the best in my opinion! Think about it... What other airlines do not have cancellation fees? Allows you to cancel your flight and use credit later that no longer expires? Allows your baggage to fly free? Has a huge network with frequent flights? Has insane sales fares as low as $29? (Rare, but has happened) Has a comfortable cabin with generous leg space? Offers free unlimited drinks, and yes I usually get more than one and even a can to go... The list goes on and on. If you're an average traveler like me who does not fly first class, it's really refreshing to board a jet without walking by the ostentatious folks in first class, mocking you for flying in economy. Finally, Southwest is known to fly into more stress-free airports like Burbank or Long Beach. But if you fly into LAX, the new Terminal 1 is amazing. Did I mention that Southwest also flies to Hawaii?

Remember how worn and tired terminal 1 used to be? Not anymore! It's bigger, brighter, and beautiful with a lot of options for food! This terminal is exclusively for Southwest airlines.

Fun place to go when weather is nice. Plenty of parking options on the street or lots. There's restaurants to try, shops to browse, and plenty of walking to explore! Also entertainment for kids with arcades, ferris wheel, and horse carousel. Word of warning: there are folks with no masks, cruisers with loud music, and mentally ill person shouting out profanities in public. Certain corners may also look unkept because of the local homeless.
