My family (wife and daughters ages 6 and 3) and I just returned to Minneapolis from our trip to Florida over winter break and just when I thought customer service for airlines could not be any worse, Southwest Airlines went and proved me wrong. Everything I had ever heard about Southwest had been fairly positive, […]

So I was in Denver visiting my boyfriend. My United flight was supposed to leave Denver for OKC at 7:30 p.m. The flight was delayed until 10:00 p.m. Okay, I could deal with that. When we finally boarded the plane we sat there for an hour; I guess they had to refuel. After we finally […]

Well, mine isn’t nearly as terrible as most of the stories posted hear but here’s my horror story. I was taking a flight to Seattle with my brother to go visit our family for Christmas.
