Pros: good price, all-inclusive vacation
Cons: they don't tell you if flights are nonstop or connecting, bad boarding system

This vacation package is well-priced but the flights all look non-stop when you are booking, and they aren't!

We booked an 'SWA Vacation' online to Vegas because the price looked great (for round trip airfare, hotel and airport transfers) and...

Pros: great price, lots to choose from
Cons: they don't go everywhere

I went to Ft. Lauderdale on a Southwest Airlines vacation package during the spring. I searched and searched and they offered the best deal by far! The packages include air, hotel, and a car if you like for a much better price than if you booked...

Pros: None
Cons: Bad seating, loss of hotel perks

Deal direct w/SWA or chose another service. Can't use early check-in over the net with the packages they sell so your stuck with the worst seats on the plane. Also hotel I booked (Orleans, LV) gave free buffet w/their web site booking at a better price than swavacations.
There's better services out there, you should use them.
