Have you guys listened to this podcast? It sounds really weird, like there are gaps or missing audio between comments in the conversation. Is it just me?
I really love the SMR podcast, but the talking on top of each other in this one is really killing me, I had to stop listening after 20 minutes.
In Ref to Southwest Airlines:
Yes, I’m a fat guy and I love Southwest.
All you do is buy an extra seat. If the flight isn’t 100% full, they will refund the 2nd seat. Plus, if you get 2 seats you get to be on the preboard list.
I’ve been doing this for the past 5 years, and have never not gotten the 2nd seat refunded.
I do it when I fly with a friend, and they get to preboard with me.
And with the NO Baggage charges, Win, Win
