Bare bones baby! They also have no assigned seating which can lead to some interesting brwls to get on the plane and while you are jokeying for good seats. Only inconvienent if traveling with a large group, it can be hard to find seats together. Here's a huge tip, you can register or check in up to 24 hours in advance, and you get assigned a boarding pass and group. It is first come first serve. if you wait until the airport, you'll get in the last group and get the worst seats. You may also get bumped, because Southwest overbooks by 25% and last come first bumped!

well you must board very early because there is no assigned seating (two ladies were calling each other a ***** because they wanted the same seat). Drinks, you only get like 1/4 a cup so bring something of your own, and they only give you a small bag of mini pretzels, no entertainment in the cabin, but the flight attendants are humorous. We once landed in Austin quite roughly i thought the landing had broken off, and the stewardess was telling a few jokes and another time a steward was singing a song for the little toddies on board because the flight was called back for the brakes to be changed, which by the way took .5 an hour.Don't get me wrong, they are good, just make sure you bring a book, some drinks, and a sandwich and board early, you don't want to be caught in a SWA 737-700 brawl now would you?!

Southwest is BASIC. You get a drink and a small package of nuts or snack mix. There are no TV's whatsoever, not even the small hanging ones above random seats. There is no first class and boarding is like getting on a bus. Everything is random and unorganized. Next time book on a different airline. The service is much better. (The flight attendents on SW tend to be somewhat friendlier, however)

Southwest Airlines goes really basic and does not show movies nor do they have the personal in-flight entertainment in the back of the seats. You are on your own for entertainment. I suggest either trying to sleep, iPod, magazine/book or portable DVD player.

Generally my experience with Southwest has been real good, but it's up to you to find something to do. I mean, they have free soda and peanuts or pretzels. They don't serve meals. I don't think I've ever been on a Southwest flight that's had a TV on board but I don't watch those anyway. They don't have those silly headphones to listen to Muzak through your armrest either.
Isn't it always up to you to find something to do on a plane?! That's what magazines are for?!

Pray hard...You don't get assigned seating on Southwest...they sort of treat you like cattle, fight to get on and pray you don't end up in a middle seat between overweight people. I refuse to fly Southwest---it's worth the money to go with a full service carrier!

I've flown on Southwest several times, and never had a problem.

Don't get too excited about it. It's just like riding a big bus, except you get one round of drinks. You need a laugh? Haha I already had a laugh when I read your "Little Tvs on board?". Sorry, it really was funny :-)
