I had a long distance relationship for a while, and I flew SW a _ton_. No problems ever. And pleasant cabin crew, too.

I’ve taken the train a few times up and down the state (CA), and it can be a nice trip. A lot of the time you’re near the coast, so the view is nice, as well. However, I can remember one time taking the train home to L.A. from Sacramento, and we went through most of the “backside” of towns we passed through. Stockton was especially dispiriting. Does Stockton _have_ a good side???

> About my only criticism of Southwest is that, given their free checked bag policy, I wish they policed the size of cabin luggage a bit more. Some people drag fucking massive suitcases onto the plane, and it sometimes delays boarding, especially because some people are fucking idiots when it comes to boarding efficiently anyway.

Yeah, they do not really police this at all. In fact I frequently see the flight attendants come over and help them shove and move other people’s stuff around, and only if that fails do they make them check it, which I’ve only seen happen a handful of times. While I appreciate that they’re not dicks about it, I do wish they would be a bit more conscientious about obviously too big bags at the gate.

I wonder if the fact that you had to book you grandson separately got him entered as an unaccompanied minor even though he wasn’t actually traveling alone. Those generally have [extra fees](https://thepointsguy.com/news/airline-unaccompanied-minor-policies-and-fees-in-the-united-states/) associated with them that are in the ball park of what you were asked to pay.

If you’ve never flown Spirit, this is what it’s like. I’m 6’ tall. Fortunately, the seats don’t recline.
