Many forum posters like Southwest. I also booked a Southwest flight, even in a Northwest hub city (although it was substantially cheaper than Northwest and I'm going with someone else). I would consider Southwest acceptable. Many would argue they all try, but I would like to fly with those who try the best and most often. See this previous blog post.

I'm flying from Chicago to Las Vegas next month. Thanks! Quick question… how would you rate Southwest in terms of turbulence avoidance? I’m flying from Chicago to Las Vegas next month.
