SWA, It was fun while it lasted.

Simply put, SWA from Bradley (Ct.) to MCO in April $252 one way including seat....JBlue $133....as said in the title, it was fun while it lasted....JBlue here we come...SWA, time will tell if you regret your recent decisions....

Perfectly said. Our date in March BWI to MCO is 352 one way with very few basics available. We booked elsewhere.

We fly in and out of Bradley too! I would say keep checking from time to time for future flights. My wife found out a band she likes is playing at House of Blues some random weekend in November so booked flights a few weeks back, down on Saturday and back on Monday. They were running a deal, and maybe it's just because she's flying Monday which I'm guessing is cheaper than weekend flying, but the flight back to BLD on SW was $64 one way. She had is covered in previous credits so she was pretty happy with it but I do mostly agree with you, JetBlue has been a cheaper option for us in more recent trips.

Not due to price of flights for us but other changes (expiring travel credits, baggage charges) have caused us to start looking elsewhere after being loyal SW guests for 15+ years. Sad to go but I just cannot justify booking with them after these changes.

I’ve pretty much flown SW exclusively (with some United), but not necessarily because I loved it. I flew AirTran exclusively before (best prices), and when SW bought them they had non stop flights for the places I frequent most often. Luckily it’s also been the best price too.

I’ve never liked the boarding process. We don’t check bags so that has never been a perk. I hear a lot of good about JetBlue, but from Pittsburgh every time I look at flights with layover they seem excessively long. Delta is usually too expensive, and while American doesn’t seem bad, alot of times their connections are way too tight for my liking.

So pretty much nothing will change for me. I’ll look non stop first, and compare price/time to other airlines with a layover.
