Doesn't southwest have their own personnel for this? Is asking the police to do your job an abuse of public resources?
- toast0 4y agoNo, Southwest does not have personnel to escort passengers through the airport. Certainly not passengers who don't want to be escorted (as is strongly implied by the headline, or the brief snippet of article before the paywall). Even for unattended minors, Southwest only escorts on and off the plane, not through airports to connecting flights.
