Unpopular Opinion: You Deserve A Refund For Broken Airline Seats [Roundup] – View from the Wing

News and notes from around the interweb:

• My unpopular opinion is that when you buy a plane ticket, you’re buying more than just movement from place to place. Your seat is part of the product, and if the airline doesn’t deliver it they haven’t given you what you paid for. You should get a refund, or at least a discount – automatically, without asking for it.

• Everyone’s laughing because this is Frontier, but I’ve been on United Express with no toilet paper, American Eagle with no soap, and plenty of flights have taken off with inoperative toilets. (HT: @crucker)

• Dallas Love Field moves rideshare pickup closer on January 3, eliminating the 10-minute walk they’d imposed. This airport is home to Southwest ‘two bags fly free’ Airlines, 10 minutes with luggage is a pain…
• Happy cabin crew really are the best thing about Southwest Airlines.
  

  S/O to @SouthwestAir for an amazing experience. This employee was so funny she made the experience enjoyable. pic.twitter.com/fno50GoBZJ
