Easy and nice

The representative called me and informed me of my booking still in process. The representative made sure that everything was in order.

Our experience with Military Fares has been less than ideal. I booked the tickets, then immediately got a call from an agent who changed the flight, which wasn't a huge deal. But during that conversation, I asked about check-in luggage. He, Sylvester, told me that my tickets did not come with check in-- which I realize that is one me. As I brainstormed solutions with him, he portrayed to me that my best/cheapest option was to pay $458 and that would allow me to check-in 2 bags at 50lbs or less. I should have just stopped then. I paid it. He also told me that it was "airline policy" that minor children have to be set with a parent, implying that I had nothing to worry about in that respect. Fast forward to when I got the confirmation, I had two separate authorization codes- it appeared as my husband's AUTH code/ticket was solo, and the other tickets were grouped just the kids and I. Concerned about seating, I called again. That agent informed me that I would have to speak with the airline. So, I called the airline, Southwest. What a blessing she was, for the entire call. So happened is Sylvester's solution to my checked baggage problem was to upgrade my husband's ticket 2 levels to CHOICE EXTRA (the most expensive). The Southwest agent informed me that I could have simply kept my basic tickets and paid 45/55$ at the airport. She, then, informed me that it is not a "policy" with the airline to sit children with a parent, but it is their intention. If it cannot be done, then the option would be for SW to move us to a different flight. That is not an option. So, we had to upgrade seats for $$$ to ensure that the kids had a seat next to a parent. When all was completed, would have saved about 200-300$ to just have booked through SW directly. Will not use Military Fares again. My recommendation is too call the airline and get the cost directly, before using MilitaryFares.
