Zagat reports Southwest is the best

Southwest, the airline with the fun flight crews and TV star baggage handlers was lauded as tops in several categories, according to a frequent flier survey by Zagat.com.

For the third consecutive year, SW was named best in value for passenger dollars. It also won for on-time estimates, which means you get there when you want to get there if you fly SW.

A SW spokesperson sums up: "Bottom line, we have fun. Southwest takes our business very seriously, but is known for having employees who care about our customers which, in this industry, separates us from our competitors."

With holiday season now in full operation, you may decide to take your pet along to join in on Christmas celebrations far from home. If you do it on SW, it will cost an extra $75 each way. Consider it a bargain, because as of January 2014, the same pet travel service will be $95.

The requirements are that the pet has certified vaccination proof, and rides in a carrier that fits under your airline seat. Additionally, because of the busy December travel season, reservations must be made early. On SW, only six pet carriers are allowed on each flight.

Actually, even the higher SW charge will be cheaper than you’ll pay on some other airlines. They require as much as $125, which could make a pet-toting human passenger on a $99 special ticket feel a bit unsettled.
