What happens when you wait too long to book your post-Thanksgiving travel?

Lesson learned: don’t wait till two days before to book travel for the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Yes friends, this is going to be a first for me. Wish me luck and learn from my mistakes. 😉

You got me wondering where Southwest flies non-stop from SEA so I checked their interactive flight map, clicked the NON-STOP only button and was amazed at all the destinations and at the same time in denial knowing that they must be "DIRECT" flights with stops. So I checked the booking and sure enough their definition of "non-stop" on the flight map is the same as "direct". That's a new low...

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Pay attention to how efficient their entire operation is, from the gate design, boarding, drink service, and disembarking. I understand why WN has such a loyal following.

Lucky: You'll be getting 20% return on your purchase price (earning 12 WN points per dollar for BS, can redeem at 6 for WGA). Double that if you get to A-List+ as we call it. Don't bother with Early Bird. Once folks have someone to serve as a Companion, they may look upon WN with more favor. WN Companion Pass is the best FF deal domestically, IMO, saving possibly thousands a year. For me, 100% free beats upgrades, but of course YMMV. Must have a TR. Take pictures of the peanuts.

OMG ... say it isn't so! So where are you flying to? I am working on Monday but I am MSY-PHX-BWI so I am quite sure I won't have the opportunity to be your FA.
