My experience with SW has always been that they're better than everyone else at their pricepoint, and below their pricepoint the savings aren't worth the hassle. They've gotten worse over the years, but they're still consistently the roomiest flights I've been on, their employees have always been friendly and I never really dealt with any major delays with them. My experiences with Delta were that they were a 50/50 between a nice experience or a "should have just bought a Jet Blue / Spirit ticket" experience. My experiences with United were that anything that wasn't a major route, you were likely going to fly in a tubo-prop coffin and come out with so many aches and pains any money you saved will be spent on advil and massages. They're also the only airline that's managed to lose my luggage twice.
