~twheeler's review of Southwest Airlines customer service
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.
~twheeler: This number was pretty useless. The reason they can answer so fast is that they can't do anything to help you so they give you another number (for Customer Relations) that is not a toll free number and you have to wait on hold, while you pay for the call, for a long, long time. Horrible service. I bought a ticket for Sunday, got to the airport and they were late so there was no way to catch the connecting flight so I was changed to the next day. There is no compensation and not a care in the world. Awful service!!!

~twheeler: For that I would say two out of five.
