I have my Southwest F2F Tuesday morning and am flying to Dallas the evening before, so I’ll have a carry-on with me. My flight home is right after the interview.
Is it normal for candidates to bring their luggage to the interview, or would that come across as unprofessional? I could have my hotel hold it, but if bringing it is common, it’d save me an Uber trip back to the hotel before heading to the airport.
I searched the sub for Southwest-specific answers but couldn’t find anything. Thanks in advance!

Applied/assessment/ODVI invite 6/1, ODVI submitted 6/6, TF email 6/9. No F2F invite (yet!).
Just sharing for others who are anxiously waiting to see new updates here. I don’t know if it violates their policy to share the contents so I’m not going to, but it’s a couple bullet points and a very brief recap, as expected. Good luck, everyone!

First post here so I hope this is allowed. Looking for kind, helpful insight. I got a job alert this morning for, quite literally, a position that was made just for me: "Theme Park Experience Services- Part time"- must have DLR resort knowledge and tech support background. That's ME, you guys! I'm a AP, I was an IT green badge who floated between Consumer Products & the studio, then supported the Disney Store headquarters in Pasadena (before they merged with DCP), did monthly visits to the DLR offices for tech support, etc. I was so thrilled!

I got up, made a quick breakfast, coffee, fed the dog, etc., sat down at my computer to apply and POOF! LISTING WAS GONE. Looks like I received the email at 1am PST, so they took it down about 8 hours (or less) after posting.

Is this normal for a posting go up at 1am in the same time zone as the job location, just to be taken down a few hours? If yes, what kind of sense of urgency should I have moving forward? Of course, I do know that they probably get thousands of applicants which is why something like this might happen, but do they not have the "help" of AI filtering resumes and applications? Is this an example of an opening that's being filled internally already and the job posting is just a formality? TIA

ETA green badge context

Do you recommend a laptop or a mobile device for the 🔺 ODVI? I’ve seen a few posts reporting major tech issues but I don’t recall anyone stating which devices or browsers they were using. I come from a tech support background so I can troubleshoot most times, but when interview responses are being interrupted or not recorded, that worries me. TIA!
UPDATE: Leaving this up so it can possibly help future candidates. I completed my ODVI without issue using chrome on my Mac. As a precaution (from my technical disaster of a ODVI with another airline), I cleared my browsers cache & cookies, and restarted my computer. I tested my microphone and camera using the camera app (Photo Booth). Also, just bc it’s a personal pet peeve, CLEAN YOUR CAMERA BEFORE YOU START 😂 Cheers and good luck everyone!
