We put the "NEW" Southwest to the Ultimate Test by flying on 12 flights in a row in 44 hours! In this video, we'll try to visit all of Southwest Airlines' Crew Base Cities highlighting Southwest Airlines new policy. We call it #HubHopping! We'll try to fly from Atlanta - Baltimore - Nashville - Chicago - Orlando - Austin - Houston - Dallas - Denver - Las Vegas - Phoenix - Los Angeles - Oakland. Can we do it? Watch this video to find out!
We'll show you everything you need to know about the New Southwest, including the new Southwest Boarding Process as well as what's free onboard. We'll tell you how much a Southwest checked bag costs. We'll even share a little about what Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards gets you these days.
Along the way, we'll share all of our observations about what it's like to fly the New Southwest. It's no longer the fun, quirky, unique airline it once was. The free checked bags, free-for-all seating, and fun loving culture is gone. It's been replaced by a much more standard experience and approach to running an airline. Does this make it better? Well, we really put it to the ultimate test by attempting 12 flights through 13 airports over 44 hours!
