On Saturday 24MAR12 @ 1:30AM I checked in online for my flight that morning, and went to bed.  I was sick and out of it, and was glad I could sleep in since my flight (which I thought was at noon but I saw was 1:10 on the itinerary) so I slept in. That morning I got to the Southwest checkin counter and was shocked to see my connection was at 1:10 -- my flight was at 12:10, literally in Iike 20 minutes.  I crawled up and surrendered hopelessly, expecting due reprimand, scolding and punishment.  But the agent at the desk said with an encouraging smile \""I think if you run you can make it!\"".  So off I ran. Just as I got to the gate they were boarding.  Another airline would have just said no.  The biggest shock of all was seeing my bag on the carousel safe and sound. I love Southwest and their awesome team!
