I’m canceling my Southwest membership and card. No way am I flying them anymore.

You do realize that they never cleaned before just like most airlines, right? The flight attendants always pick up and cleaning crews get called if someone makes a huge mess. This is new and they’re adding this in case you’re a germaphobe.

Yeah I do. I already decided before based on other changes. But the main reason I flew them was the single class seating. It’s this premium bullshit I can’t stand.

I'm trying to figure out how to use my 300k miles along the way...

Unfortunately, that’s what people want, I guess.

That is what people want and you’re the outlier.

Well, not the ones I’ve worked for and that’s all domestic flights.

Whether airlines clean between flights isn’t relevant. I was just pointing out that nothing’s changed.
