I appreciated the cheap flight, the great service, and was really impressed by how far Southwest has come with its IFE onboard. Overall, this was a great flight on Southwest. Even though LAXit was empty, there were no cars waiting. My car was parked in the Signature Terminal so we had to take an Uber to get there. We landed early at LAX then had to terminal in which all stores were closedвЂ¦no Urth coffee today. But if youвЂ™re a parent, you know what it is like to have a child who simply cannot waitвЂ¦ I hope it was clean, but most airline lavatories are bad enough during normal times. I was certainly hoping we could avoid it, but Augustine insisted he had to use restroom as we approached Los Angeles. ThatвЂ™s a huge leap forward from the last time I flew Southwest and would be quite handy on a transcontinental flight (though plan in advance for the lack of power ports).ДЄugustine got more out of the safety card than the actual IFEвЂ¦

I was not expecting any IFE beyond wi-fi, but found that Southwest has a large library of streaming movies available and also offers live TV in addition to wi-fi internet. HereвЂ™s where Southwest really impressed me. What a nice, proactive gesture.Д®veryone adult onboard wore masks so there were no enforcement or compliance issues. Rather than just hand it to me, he picked it up, noted it was warm, and told me he was going to try to find a cooler one for me, which he did. There was a bit of humor in the announcements, but by the time the flight attendant got to our aisle there was only one can of water leftвЂ¦and it was warm to the touch. The snack mix was really tasty and the snack was perfect for a one-hour flight (though obviously a selection of beverages would have been preferred). The canned Deja Blue water took me back several years to grade school trips on SouthwestвЂ¦I think Southwest is the only place IвЂ™ve ever seen it. I was not expecting anything during the flight, but Southwest has re-introduced a modified drink and snack service on flights over 250 miles. During the flight we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. We took off on time and were soon in the air. I thought that families traveling together might have to take middle seats, but that is not the case or there were just no parties of three traveling together. Southwest is currently blocking all middle seats and so every aisle and window seat was taken, but no middle seats were occupied. Southwest has 31вЂі legroom and blue faux-leather seatsвЂ¦.31вЂі is not much, but it felt generous enough. Southwest Airlines 737-700 Seating + Legroom + Social Distancing While the seats did not recline, that was not an issue for a quick flight (and reclining seats are dangerous anyway with a three-year-old who loves to press button and has trouble sitting stillвЂ¦) Southwest has open seating and we found seats just in front of the exit row. The boarding process was prolonged (15 at a time with time gaps in between) in order to promote social distancing.ДЄ masked flight attendant welcomed us onboard. Southwest Airlines boards its A group first (60 passengers) then allows families with young children to board before beginning the B boarding group. My look of annoyance after being asked for the umpteenth time вЂњwhat aircraft is that?вЂќ when they are all 737sвЂ¦ Southwest Airlines Boarding My son Augustine loves visiting airports and planespotting, but the вЂњwhatвЂ™s this aircraft daddy?вЂќ question gets pretty old pretty quick at a Southwest hub (Southwest only uses 737 aircraft). Recall, this was a very last-minute trip and I ended up with B15+B16 boarding priority, having checked in about eight hours before the flight. While many people ignored the mask policy in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, everyone appeared to have a mask on in the gate area. Most stations were closed, all employees were wearing masks, and plexiglass shields were present at every counter.

I had checked-in online, but I did notice that the check-in area at Phoenix was mostly deserted, despite several Southwest flights departing in the early evening hours. Three, because I was darn impressed by it. Two, because weвЂ™re still in the middle of COVID-19. Why review a one-hour Southwest Airlines 737-700 flight? One, because I handвЂ™t flown Southwest in years.
