Why I love Southwest Airlines...

Yesterday, Jace and I flew down to Tampa. This was the first time I had flown with the little man alone and I was a little nervous. But everything went great!!

We flew Southwest because not only was it the cheapest, it offered the only nonstop flight...plus I got to check two bags free! When I got to the ticket counter one of the Southwest agents helped me with my bags and then didn't even charge me the $50 when one of my was over the 50 lb. weight limit! I had packed Jace's pack and play (portable crib) in one of Chris' bat bags with the rest of the baby gear and apparently I packed it a little too heavy...but the Southwest agent just told me not to worry about it! Thank you!!!

When I got to security, one of the TSA representatives helped me get everything on the conveyor belt. Thank goodness because I hate the idea of being that slow mom holding every one up. Then when I got to the gate the Southwest agent told me the flight wasn't full so I could take my car seat on! Score! A seat for Jace that I didn't have to pay for! Then, the flight was empty enough that I got my own row! Woo hoo!! Which was great so I could play with Jace, put him in his car seat, bounce him on my legs and I wasn't bugging anyone! My return flight isn't for another week, but just in case I have to change the flight (with our life lately that's a good possibility) I can change it for free! Thank you southwest for being the cheapest and easiest airline ever and making my first flight by myself a breeze!

  1. Southwest is uhhh-mazing!! I hate that I NEVER get to fly them tho bc they don't fly out of DFW and I'm too lazy to drive 20 more mins to the other airport they do fly out of! But I agree they are awesome!

  2. OMG, I love southwest and Nick always makes fun of me for professing my love. Jace is going to be an amazing little traveler (well, I guess he already is)!
