It is standard procedure to always have an alternate airport incase of bad weather. It is only ever used if it is unsafe to land due to weather. (And it would be illegal for a pilot to do otherwise) As inconvenient as it was, better to be annoyed and alive, than arrive at the intended destination and crash because the pilot didn’t heed safety concerns.

Pilots are super busy at that time that’s why it took a few minutes for pilot to update.But in bad weather this is what happens it’s a risk you take when traveling by air. Always good to be prepared mentally,money and food/snack wise.Especially during weather months.Airlines don’t offer compensation/lodging when it is a delay out of there control.

Horrible, but just hang out in Myrtle beach till the airport opens. Did other airplanes land at RDU at that same time they left? I'd want to know. Always carry food bars with you. Karen here.

Why are these planes flying in this weather? Corporate greed! This is happening alot. No pilot has business flying is bad weather. I don’t care if “the plane” can handle it. You are risking peoples lives and im so over the bs statements saying they care about the safety of passengers. They care about making money

Glad the plane didn't crash with massivce fatalities, good decision to divert. Recognize it is a pain, but can these dolts express any gratitude that they are safe? Okay, vending machines in a terminal? I fly alot and don't recall the last time I have seen any machines--the airports award expensive licenses to vendors--so don't expect vending machines aS THE NORM. On getting compensation, he seems clueless. The way to get compensation is to contact southwest and explain what happened. I expect you will get vouchers for future flights, or miles. "We were really inconvenienced and not compensated. Who cares if we could have died, I want mine!!!!"

You fly SW all the time? What did you expect? Just be happy your plane finally landed in RDU.

I could understand the customers aggregation if Southwest had charged them extra to go to Myrtle Beach but Southwest gave them this trip to the beach absolutely FREE.

Boo hoo! That pilot saved your lives and your complaining about food. Go to McDonald’s, or better yet, eat at home. People are so entitled these days.

Here’s your choice little mortals: 1. Crash and Burn to death at RDU 2. Live and be hungry for the night with no food vouchers. Choose wisely.
