went southwest for the first time last trip and definitely intend to use them again. love getting free checked baggage. just wish there were more options going out of dayton which is closer to me. Having to drive to Columbus or Indianapolis but it's worth it for the nonstop flight that only costs about $240 a piece.


Had previous account but can no longer access :(
8 previous trips, including honeymoon.
Two kids 5 & 7 years old.
One of 'those' WDW fans.

Next: POFQ, our home! April 2018!

Southwest is wonderful! We always fly with them whenever possible. We stay at POR and they have the baggage check-in right there at the resort. We check our bags on the morning of the day that we fly out. Then we have our carry on bags stored for us and we spend our last day at Downtown Disney (as it was known our last trip down). When we are ready for our Magical Express ride we head back to the resort and pick up our carry-on bags. We don't see our luggage until we pick it up at the KC airport. Pretty nice!
