A first for me on Southwest. Even though I was arriving at C30 in Denver last night, I had little hope of making my flight at C31 in time, because the flight was quite late. I sat as close to the front as possible, aisle seat, but had pretty much resigned myself to missing flight.
The gate agent opening the door on arrival called me out by name, had me escorted to the waiting flight, which apparently was being held, but still left on time.
THANKS Southwest! Excellent job in my case
Although, even acknowledging the gate agents request to let me through, I still had to ask 5 people to move aside, who had promptly ignored the fact that someone was coming up from behind them. Is it just me, or when a request is made to let people with tight connections deplane first, there is no difference whatsoever in peoples behavior?
