For a simple, no frills flight to Vegas Southwest managed to do just fine. Can't say I'd ever use them on a longer flight, but for quick jaunts this is the ticket. \n\nWord to the wise: log in EXACTLY 24 hours before your flight and secure an early boarding group. All the seating is first come, first served and if you're boarding at the end of group D you won't have much for options. \n\nRates were much better than any other airline flying to Vegas out of John Wayne. Unless you feel beholden to one specific airline, this is the best buy for your money. The flight is less than an hour, so even if it's mildly uncomfortable you won't have long to deal with it. \n\nAs far as the flight goes, it was standard stuff. Semi-comfortable chairs, attentive staff, free soft drinks (and a good selection of the harder stuff, too).
