Getting from here to there...
Or in my case yesterday, getting from there to here.
My son and I, his daughter and her boyfriend, had plans that included flying from Houston to Las Vegas. I would overnight in Houston on the way home and then take a flight - nonstop - to Fort Lauderdale.
The best laid plans of mice and man - and grandmothers - change. My son ran a fever -the young folks decided to go anyway, and I decided to come home.
My original ticket on Southwest was to fly direct from Houston Hobby to Fort Lauderdale. Quick changes don't work out quite as well as advance planning, and I was routed from Houston to New Orleans to Fort Lauderdale. I am not complaining. It worked well. I had lunch at Pappadeaux at Houston Hobby, a yogurt in New Orleans and didn't need to eat dinner when I arrived home about 8:45 pm. My time between flights was little more than an hour.
Southwest Airlines is a traveler's dream. Both flights left on time, arrived at their destination early and my luggage made the transfer. What more can a traveler ask for?
Oh sure, the business first on Iberia that I flew a few weeks ago from Miami to Barcelona and back was more comfortable (I think I slept five hours straight in the seats that reclined fully and were oh-so-comfy,) and much more luxurious, but if your goal is to get from here to there with a minimum of effort, Southwest is always the best answer. My gates were actually practically across from each other!
Being flexible is half the problem when traveling. But when a good plan comes together, it's probably because you flew Southwest.
