I arrived this morning at SFO with my significant other (SO) in tow. We did Bay to Breakers yesterday. We are on the same flight, SFO->SAN and it was delayed, as always, from this so called airport. I booked her return flight on points but paid for my flight. The agent, who was having a *VERY* bad day and taking it out on the passengers, hassled me for checking my SO's bag after mine in the A-List line. He claimed that since the bookings were separate, I'm not allowed to do this.

First, I am totally unapologetic. I'm going to keep doing this whether or not SWA likes it or not. I'm A-List Preferred and not some yokel-short-on-time trying to cheat the priority line. And I'm going to be snotty to the any gate agent who tries to enforce this silly rule. This doesn't seem like a battle that Herb would pick.

Second, I submit is is impossible to book the same flight for two people and pay for one with points and one with a CC while keeping the same confirmation number. So even if I wanted to play nice, it is impossible.

Side note: The gate agent didn't like to looks of my luggage and made me sign the stupid wavier. He was REALLY, REALLY having a bad day.

Comments?

PS -- After all of this, I saved her a middle seat. But that is a different thread ...
