  • If you're debating whether or not to fly Southwest Airlines, this video is for you! We'll discuss the pros and cons of flying with Southwest on routes like STL to DEN and DEN to ABQ. Find out if Southwest Airlines is the right choice for your next trip!
    One of our goals is to visit all 50 states in the United States and 50 countries! Today we set out on a journey to visit state number 42, New Mexico. We begin our journey in St. Louis, Missouri at the Residence Inn. We dine at a new restaurant Tiger Soup Dumplings and have Crumbl Cookies for dessert. The next morning we head to Lambert International Airport to take a flight on Southeast Airlines. We have flown Southwest several times but it has been awhile. Our main reason for choosing Southwest is that we have obtained a companion pass for Southwest Airlines through credit card hacking. Our flight today will only cost $11.20. That's hard to pass up!
    Come along as we show you what it's like to fly on Southwest from a lounge experience at Wing Tips, a lounge at Lambert International Airport, to taking two different flights. Our first flight will be from Lambert (STL) to Denver, Colorado (DEN). We will then fly from Denver (DEN) to Albuquerque International Sunport Airport (ABQ).
    We appreciate each person who watches our videos and we thank you!
    We know that we are, "Living the GOOD Life!" and we hope that you are too!
    Cheers!

    I love the residence Inn, it gives me a home away from home vibe. Love the work area also. Very nice indeed. I’ve thought about southern airlines several times as I have friends who work as flight attendants there. I’ll have to try it out!
    P.S. You had me at Boba Tea & Dumplings 🧋You can’t go wrong with Crumbl Cookie 🍪

    No! We got stuck at the Seattle airport for 12 hrs. Also, I am not sure what’s going on…..But, our flight schedule was adjusted for every flight we took last year domestic. Another fun adventure, New Mexico is one of the states I would like to visit. 😊

    I am back! I have mixed feelings about Southwest. Are you happy they are planning to begin assigning seats? Do you think it will make boarding less stressful? I think Southwest works for short flights. I still need to cross New Mexico off the list.

    • @mrs.karnesandme
      @mrs.karnesandme  19 часов назад +1

      We are looking forward to Southwest going to assigned seats. I do think it will make boarding less stressful. I agree Southwest is good for short flights. For us the price is so good right now since we have the companion pass and points to pay. Thanks for watching! We REALLY appreciate you!
