Southwest Airlines “strike”.

Caught in the belly of the beast. I have never had a flight cancelled, much less dealt with politico-pandemic related mass flight issue.
World travelers on here explain it to me. What do I do?
Current hotel secured for another night. On terminal hold with SWA. Those are the things we are doing currently. Going on SWA website currently shows only a flight available Tuesday. Today is Sunday.

Over 1,000 flights cancelled today (27% of daily total). If anyone needs rebooking help, first suggestion is book on another airline

Should we expect southwest to make things right in these situations?
Unfortunately it looks like most flights MSY to DFW today are $$$$
$1000 on AA for main cabin on a 1 hour flight haha

Hope for it but don't expect it. On the OT thread bluegrass had a great point about southwest not having interline agreements with other airlines. This means they can't rebook you on AA, DL, UA, etc. when your flight is cancelled. You have to completely buy a new ticket or drive.
For $1000, you better be driving

Can’t wait to pick up my smelly Nissan Sentra for the 8 hour drive home.
What a blessed Sunday

You’re the guy that used to (or still does) post great flight deals.
Show me the way home good sir.

It's a lazy sunday on my end and I'll happily push off cleaning so good idea on a cheap airfare thread. You looking for out of Houston I assume? Fall and winter will have the best deals now. Let me grab a cup of coffee first 
Posted on 10/10/21 at 10:05 am to LSU alum wannabe
Yep this shite had me stuck in DC for another day. Had to buy a flight on American to get home now.
Posted on 10/10/21 at 10:06 am to CuseTiger
Yes HOU or IAH. Drawback is we flew in on SW so we have a ton of bags.
Posted on 10/10/21 at 10:12 am to Lazy But Talented
Wife was able to change to a different flight time for today, but I doubt it even takes off and they won’t let her add me as a companion either and the flight is now unavailable.

Wait, I thought you were looking for some cheap tickets over the next few months not today. My bad... Where are you trying to get to?

Orlando back home to Houston.

What you're going to have to do is watch availability like a hawk. If it increases and there is a seat available, then you'll have to call in (assume you can't do companion online?) and pray the seat is still there. If you can do it online then as soon as you see a seat available try it again

If they’re still selling spots…safe to assume they have a pilot?
I’ve been putting off heading to the car rental spot.

:( nothing into houston the rest of today. Found one option but you aren't going to like the price. $700 on American, Orlando- Miami- Austin.
I guess first question- How much longer can you stay in Orlando or are you needing to get out today? Not sure we can get you to houston, but wondering if getting you to anywhere else close will work? Second, southwest is going to be a mess, are you willing to spend the $$$ and fly another airline?
