A warning to parents traveling on Southwest Air:

Yesterday, my sister checked 3 carseats for her flight. Southwest canceled their flight twice and rebooked them for Wednesday. My sister asked for the carseats back so they could leave, and Southwest refused. 24hrs later, same thing.

Apparently this is Southwest policy - once you check a bag, they won't give it back, even if your flight is canceled and rebooked for another day.

@jessicacalarco Every 5 years, I think to myself "flying is much worse than I thought it would ever get." And yet it just keeps getting worse!

20th century flying: A fun, relaxing time to zone out
21st century flying: A Kafka-esque nightmare

@jessicacalarco aren’t they required to reimburse you for expenses. I think you could buy new car seats and they would have to pay for them. Not that there are car seats for sale at the airport…
