Still considering going with a 13" or 15"

Imagine a similar plan to Experience More but cheaper and no phone promos. Just the basics with some extras to make it a better value

Payment $95.65 10/15/26

My first 11 payments are $95, but the rest of my payments (118) are $174, thats because I have to recertify every year right?

In the past, I’ve primarily flown with JetBlue and Frontier. I know some people have mixed feelings about the “new Southwest” based on the different posts I’ve seen here, but I have to say, my flight from SJU to MCO was great.

I was on a Boeing 737 MAX 8, and the Wi-Fi was decent (not Starlink yet, but still pretty good). The aircraft was clean, had the new overhead bins, and the boarding process was fast. I was lucky enough to be in Boarding Group 3, which probably helped. The seats were also comfortable.

My family is loyal to JetBlue, but I actually liked Southwest more, especially with the new rules for people who like to use their phones with the volume on or take their shoes off.

Overall, it was a really good experience, and I’d definitely fly Southwest again.

Also, a big thank you to the crew! They were really organized.

Paid for a Choice fare and have a Premier CC, but still got Group 5. Shouldn’t I be in Group 3 or 4?

First time flying Southwest. I usually fly JetBlue and typically get Group 4 with them.

Not a rant, I’m just trying to understand how Southwest’s boarding system works.

Planing to start making paying under RAP and later in life when I start making more money move to IBR, is it possible?

ps. All this is because RAP does not have a payment cap, but IBR does have it plus the first 3 years are interest free for subsidized loans.

Still have 2 months to apply, but want to move out of SAVE before September 31 and get the Autopay discount.
