In my own experience, Southwest has been wonderful. I have flown 5 roundtrips with Southwest and breastfed the entire time. When we flew with my little one in July, he was 16 months, and they asked if he would want to see the cockpit and meet the pilot, bc he was so excited getting on the plane (He loves planes) so we said that would be great, but when she came back DS was already nursing, and she said "Look at him, how cute, let him nurse as long as he needs to and we can show him the cockpit when we land" well DS basically bf the entire flight and slept in my arms, then when we landed, he got his cockpit tour that he loved.
Also on a sidenote, I work with my local perinatal coalition, and a few months back, we were planning a bf conference promoting community and back to work support w/ bf. So we were brainstorming companies that we knew of that had been supportive so we can invite and give an honorable mention. This was right after my flight I described above, so I mentioned SW airlines, and at first we were inviting them then it snowballed into even greater things! One of the woman on the committee spoke with the local airport and SW and our local town legislator, and we will now have a mother's room at the airport, the room has been donated by SW. This is not to promote bf in private at all, this is for moms and babies comfort, if anyone has ever been waiting for a delayed flight, you know how great a room like this would have been! The room has been designated, and there is a big bf symbol on the door, but we are just waiting to finish it up with everything else. We have donors donating all sorts of things like rocking chairs, changing tables, etc. The room will be officially opened in early 08. Once I have all deatils I will post more and the press release.
So to make a short story long, I love SW!
