Oh I am a big Southwest fan, I usually fly them but my parents have AAdvantage miles that are expiring that they want to use. Now that I made the mistake of telling them there was availability, they will hound me about why I wasted $200 flying Southwest. If I had to pay for this ticket, I would never be flying AA they want $300 for a main cabin seat from PHL-MCO (and then I have to pay for luggage too). I can get BE for $197 but no assigned seat, no changes, no overhead bin space since I board last and if they werent forced by other carriers I'm sure I
wouldn't even be able to bring a carry-on on a BE fare.
But yes, WN has a hugely generous COS program.
