Keep in mind that not everyone can afford a rental car or hotel room, especially for multiple nights. Some people can barely afford a plane ticket. ＃Southwest

Remember, Southwest did a great job this weekend, but don’t be mean to your ticket agents. They work and are away from their families.It is not their fault that they are understaffed. #southwest air ＃Southwest #BeKind
