I share a similar experience. I’m puzzled by the common perception that Southwest offers low prices. In my case, their fares are often quite comparable to American Airlines and United. Sometimes, the flights I prefer are even more costly with Southwest. I don’t have a strong preference for any specific airline; my choice is mainly based on the quickest route with the fewest layovers and reasonable hours. And personally I very much dislike the Southwest approach to boarding. I feel much calmer knowing that my ideal seat has been reserved.
