So this is Southwest’s idea of lounges?

Saw this and immediately thought… yeah, this feels very on brand for Southwest. If they’re serious about building lounges, doing something modular like this would be the fastest way to roll them out across the network.

Not fancy, not exclusive, probably no champagne walls or showers. Just a quiet-ish space with plugs, snacks, and a place to sit that isn’t the gate. Honestly? That alone would already be a huge upgrade for Southwest flyers.

If this is what they mean, I wouldn’t hate it. Low expectations, low frills, but actually useful.
