GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Southwest Airlines customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~former loyal Southwest custome: I actually NEVER got through to the customer relations at all!! I talked to * Southwest Airlines Reservation "customer service" Reps. and they all referred me to ***-***-**** in which I called over and over trying to get through. I just kept getting a busy signal and then got their "we're closed" message after ** minutes of busy signals*Redialing. I'm clearly going to have to go over their heads and make a counter claim through my Bank and get a refund that way because Southwest Airlines "Customer Relations" is of no help Whatsoever. (Then again who knows, perhaps they would be of great help IF ONLY I could actually speak to someone)
