Nothing beats Southwest! My first commercial flight, at the age of 14, was on Southwest. I used to live close to Sky Harbor, so I fly them regularly. Unfortunately, since moving to FL, I haven’t flown Southwest. They are here, but don’t fly where we need to go.

I almost got flights on SWA for the trip we’re taking at the end of May, but it didn’t work out. Maybe next time! I’ll have to install DING so mommy can fly away for sanity sake some day.

BTW…I don’t remember the whole song, but one attend sang as we prepared to disembark, “You fly us (Southwest) ‘cuz we’re cheap…cheap…cheap, cheap.”

Love SouthWest! Great video. I would do ding – but we don’t have any plans to fly anywhere for a long while. Good to know, though.

Hi. I was just surfing around some blogs, and I came across yours. It’s pretty nifty and I’m really enjoying my stay here. I’ve bookmarked your site for daily visits, and I hope you’ll visit me. I’d love to have you. Have a great day and I’ll see you around the blogosphere.

Thanks for plugging Southwest. I AM affiliated with SWA – I’m one of the lovely flight attendants (currently on maternity leave…) and my husband is also a flight attendant. So, let me just use your site to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have supported us over the years! We wouldn’t be able to do what we do, if you weren’t there…so, for all of us that serve you – THANKS! We’ll see you on another Southwest Flight soon!

I love “DING” too! Our family got $25 one way tickets a couple of summers ago. It was great. I haven’t seen them that cheap since then, but at least with “DING” I can check out their best deals each day. And I also agree they are very friendly and alot of fun to travel with. (sorry I ended my sentence with a preposition!)

Thanks for sharing this–I HATE to fly, but when I do–Southwest is my favorite.

Hey, does Ding work with your Mac? For some reason I was under the impression that it didn’t work on Mac. I don’t have Parallels or Bootcamp, so I’m not sure. I totally love Southwest and fly it whenever possible.
The only problem is that they don’t have red-eye flights, which is sort of necessary to fly back East in a timely manner without wasting a whole day. (We’re taking a red-eye flight tomorrow night, in fact.) But I’m flying Southwest in 3 weeks to a friend’s wedding.

Thanks for this. You convinced me to download “Ding”. Unfortunately, Southwest doesn’t fly to SC, so I have to find another resource for that! This will help with FL and TN, though!

We’ve been living on the West Coast for the last 14 years so we definitely know about SW.
Great tip!
