Outstanding. Compassion under the circumstances.
I can only comment on my situation as we've yet to fly with Southwest. We had a flight booked and early into our US trip received a call from our home that my wife's mother was gravely Ill. We were on a plane 10 hours later going back home. I cancelled Southwest domestic flight same day and later emailed them asking for a refund. I explained in detail the circumstances we were in. They went the extra mile for us and refunded our flight even though they were under no obligation to do so. That small amount was critical at that time as we incurred substantial costs due to cancellation fees and re-booking costs. In light of what happened I can easily give them a 5 star rating.
