Complaint Review: Southwest Airlines - Dallas Texas

I filed a formal complaint against Southwest Airlines, (hereinafter SWA), based upon the following facts:

1. I booked a round trip with SWA, departing Phoenix, AZ, on Oct. 8, 2018, bound for LaGuardia Airport, NYC (hereinafter LGA), returning to Phoenix on Oct. 10, 2018.
2. I never reached my destination of LGA, due to egregious failures and/or errors on the part of SWA personnel, who sent me back to Phoenix from St Louis on the morning of Oct. 9, 2018, after SWA personnel had stranded me in St Louis at midnight, thus making it impossible for me to attend my mother’s funeral, which commenced at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 9.
3. SWA personnel sent me to three different cities, Dallas, TX; Little Rock, AR; and finally St Louis, MO, where I was stranded overnight.
4. To add to this damage, SWA lost all my luggage, which included a suitcase filled entirely with my medications and supplements, thus leaving me without them. The flight itinerary predicted that I would be without these remedies for 7 hours, but I was without them for 52 hours, due to SWA nonfeasance. Moreover, one of my suitcases was returned damaged.
5. By losing my luggage, SWA wrongfully denied necessary remedies to a disabled person, thus causing me to suffer unnecessarily for two days. These physical sufferings included dizziness, which caused me to fall and seriously injure my left shoulder.
6. As a direct result of the above mentioned traumatic stress, I suffered a mild heart attack on early morning of Oct. 9.
7. It was extremely important to me to go to the family gravesite with my family and bury my mother. Being denied this caused me serious emotional distress, not to mention the physical suffering caused by SWA losing my luggage.
8. SWA wrongfully put me on a flight to Lambert International in St. Louis, when they knew that the flight could not continue on to LGA as promised. As SWA Lambert personnel pointed out, it is common knowledge among airline personnel that LGA and Lambert both have curfews. These facts were withheld from me, as well as from the three other passengers who were stranded with me in St Louis, also unable to get to LGA that night. SWA negligently prevented me from pursuing other travel options in Dallas on Oct. 8, while I still had time to get to mother’s funeral, and stranded me in a strange city.
9. I checked into the hotel provided by SWA alone at 2:00 a.m. on Oct. 9, where I did not sleep a wink, and without any of my clothes, toiletries, medications, nor any of the special foods which I require due to my poor health, where I suffered physical injury, heart attack and nervous breakdown.

In summation, I hired SWA to transport me to LGA, and SWA breached that contract, and negligently caused me to suffer physical and emotional trauma. I am paying mounting medical bills, as not all of my treatments are paid for by insurance. SWA negligently prevented me from attending mother’s funeral, thereby inflicting severe emotional distress. SWA put me on an airplane in Dallas that it’s personnel falsely stated was bound for my destination, but which did not take me to my destination, thus causing me to miss the funeral, and lost my luggage.
