Not much beats MVP Gold and hanging out in the Boardroom when it comes to air travel.
I will never fly Southwest unless there is no other option and my life would fall apart if I didn't get on their plane. People are such beasts in an airport and on a plane having self selecting seating is a nightmare I am not interested in, especially making connections from smaller airports, as I often do. The whole seating issue is what really gets to me, and though Alaska Airlines charges for bags, not if you're MVP or first class (which is easy to do once you're an MVP). Alaska has also been quite forgiving with my bag weight since I fly to and from Alaska and they
get it about luggage and are probably happy I have real luggage and not coolers or cardboard boxes
Luckily everywhere I have lived has been served by Alaska/Horizon and Southwest is either not an option or an expensive one. Had a few shady experiences with delays on American and United flying back east and to the midwest, but even Alaska serves major cities in those areas and I can avoid feeling like a herded animal.
