Is Moskito Island bookable with miles? Eighteen grand a night is impossibly beyond my means, although I’m glad for Shawn that he can afford it.
Not sure if it will be bookable with Virgin miles or not like Neckar. He is an invited guest so not paying that price tag either.
When you say they are doing it quietly, How should SWA give out their vouchers? Stage a big parade?
My flight on Friday landed with one engine and we sat on the runway for about 30 min. The next day they sent me and my wife $100 voucher. Was that “too quite”?
I didn’t write the USA Today headline. From the article…
The airline is not broadcasting the availability of the vouchers or specifying who gets how much and when, with travelers initially only hearing about them if they appealed to Southwest on Twitter.
So not everyone has your experience would be my guess. 1 data point doesn’t always extrapolate…we tend to forget that sometimes.
