Full Flight | System Outage | Southwest Airlines 737-300/700 | San Antonio to Detroit

Sometimes the most fun experiences in life are the ones you don't see coming. On July 20th, 2016, Southwest Airlines suffered its largest computer failure in company history, causing over 1,000 cancellations and stranding passengers across the nation. I was traveling from San Antonio, TX to Detroit, MI and spent a couple more hours in Dallas than I had planned on, but I consider myself lucky that I made it out of there. I've never seen so many people packed into one terminal! Ground agents did their best to re-accommodate as many passengers as they could, but everywhere I went people were making plans to bolt for DFW. I stayed in Dallas and made it to Detroit about two hours late, none the worse for wear.
I hope you enjoy this trip report of an unconventional day in air travel, and if you do, please stay tuned to my channel, drop a like, or subscribe! My return from Detroit was just as eventful, I know you'll enjoy that video ;)
