What a difference choosing the proper airline makes. My flight to Detroit was on Northwest, where the flight attendants were surly at best. On the way out to California and back, I rode Southwest. Those people bent over backwards to make their passengers feel comfortable.
The flight from Orange County, CA to Raleigh was one example. There were fewer than 40 people on the plane, the attendants were all extra helpful in seeing that people had what they needed, AND the flight came in 30 minutes early thanks to a strong tailwind.
I had to thank the crew at the end for their fantastic service. I’ll also write Southwest’s corporate office and pass on my thanks. How people treat you when you travel makes a huge difference in how you feel once you arrive, and there’s nobody better at it than Southwest. They totally rule!
