Is the promo for 2x tier qualifying segments or 2x points only? The fine print is a bit confusing. I can't be the only one on SD who books a random end of year trip to hit enough segments for A-list

The benefits of A-List do not justify the inconvenience and cost of having to fly somewhere in order to hit qualifying segments.

It might. You've got double-points-earning, which might help you keep it the next year if you fly a lot, but not enough to quite get it one year. But yeah, it's not worth burning an entire day flying to nowhere just to get free drinks and wifi on your flights next year.

Same-day free change has saved me close to $1K this year. Totally worth it!

Nobody knows yet. I have to assume that anybody who earns some type of status for 2025 will be given a status/benefit of some sort. We just don't know what that will look like yet. They are definitely going to be shaking things up though. That's for certain.

I am going to guess that with assigned seats someone without A-List status buying a wanna get away ticket will get assigned a center seat.

And wifi is really spotty the last few flights I took. as a A-List member for the last few years... really not sure how they are going to have an equivalent perk system to match the benefits that we are going to lose.
Also.. soooo many Miracle flights (People that have an injury that they need wheel chairs and assistance to get on the plane first then are cured once it is time to deplane. - Not my term.. I have heard it from numerous flight attendants.)Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Now that they are just like everyone else.. Going to look into which bonus program to switch to. And maybe finally earn some overseas miles..

yes, SOuthwest is going to double alienate their best customers. First was the assigned seating bullshit and now that they are giving you a chance to hit alist for next year, they will take it away. Makes perfect sense in your bizarro world. I think alist people are going to be VERY happy with the new system..
