Just completed my first B6 flight. I fly a lot of SWA because they have so many direct flights priced right to where I need to go out of BNA. I would really like to see someone challenge the stronghold they have over BNA so when the option for a direct flight came up I jumped on it. FLL-BNA

The flight was delayed about an hour due to weather. Not going to fault them there. I was impressed by the hard product which is quite a bit nicer than SWA. I also like I don't have to sweat about getting a seat I like with the EMS option I am guaranteed to have the room I need. I would also add the seat itself seemed to have better padding than SWA's. TV monitor in every seat is step up from SWA as well and the wifi from gate to gate. I love it! The A320 does feel (and I think it is) a bit wider and roomer than SW's 737 fleet.

Service was fine I would say a wash compared to SWA and other airlines. I did like the fact they have more a lot options for snacks which is also a big plus for me. I am always hungry!

Bottom line, if B6 would only offer more flights out of BNA I would be flying them every chance I could. Clearly a much better product domestically than I am use to with SW. I would be willing to even pay a little more fare wise to fly them for the better product. I will just have to keep my fingers crossed they add a few routes out of my home. Thanks for reading.
