Aren’t you proud of Whack for not mentioning how the “acquired carrier” had all this foreign currency $h!t figured out already? 😉

Costa Rica has always been the hub in their plan to go farther down south so they put effort into making it work

I don’t think they do. Besides……are Cuban Cubans actually let out of their country by their government?

From a Cranky Flier article back when we pulled out:
With limited demand from within the US, looking to people originating in Mexico could have helped, but good luck with that. Southwest still can only accept payment in US Dollars. Further, since Southwest requires booking direct, people in Mexico City would have to know to go to southwest.com to find options.

What are the chances that a large number of Mexicans are going to go to southwest.com and pay in dollars when there are so many other more convenient and cheap options available through simpler channels? Pretty slim.

All from an airline that insists on paying its pilots in TFP instead of block/credit hours. That's where all the conversion supercomputing is going.

Is there a Pickleballs to TFP conversion factor?
