If I refused to do business with every company that has had a commercial that annoyed the piss out of me I'd be pretty limited in where I took my business. As long as a company provides a quality product at a competitive price, I'll do business with them regardless of the mind-numbing dribble they decide to put on television.

bags fly free....

If I ever meet the chick who said that so they could loop it in about 50 times in a 30-second commercial, I'll go from zero-to-felonious (assault-wise) in .4 seconds.

I think they over did the commercial a little. It is pretty annoying.

Yeah, I dont think I would have insurance if I did business by that principle.

I hate about every ad for insurance out there.

I do agree with this. If I held a company's product to the standards of its commercials, I wouldn't have auto insurance. I dream of locking the gecko, caveman, annoying hyper chick and Justin Case into a shed and setting it on nice, cleansing fire.

The commercial is pretty stupid.
The airline though does pretty well. They are almost always on time.
The cattle car boarding system sucks for me because I show up just in time to board. I just pay the extra fee to board with the first group.

I wish I could board last every time, but I would rather get of the plane first.

Just flew recently (Continental).... One Ben Franklin for round trip (two checked luggage) That is quite a surcharge... If I could have flown non-stop by southwest I would have.

You can avoid that buy printing off your boarding pass 24 hours before boarding.

..unless you are talking about their preferred customers or whatever.

I've had pretty good experience with Southwest everytime I've flown it.

Northwest is probably 2nd.

US Air and Delta suck.

I've always enjoyed flying Southwest. Usually have the best looking flight attendants too.

I've only flown Southwest and Continental...didn't have any problems with either.

I either DVR my shows and skip the commercials or have a flip to ready. I get the occasional DC (double commercial) but it's rare.

Bags flying free is important now-a-days. Most places are charging $15-$25 a bag. Some even more.

I've flown Southwest many times. Never had a problem until this summer a case worth $400 was stolen out of my free flying bag. Southwest gave me the corporate answer, I am screwed. It was out of Columbus. If possible from now on I'll ship a UPS or Fedex box instead of checking a bag on a flight, especially now that they all charge or steal from your bags.

It's ok, SportsAndLady can just pay more for his bags to travel.

Who is SportsAndLady?

Do they even have a bag?

No wonder they're bitching about bag discounts.

To be honest, I love Southwest. I use it everytime I fly to LA and back.
