    And on Southwest Airlines, they even take into account the weight of the passengers. ;)

    Another, probably more hurtful example, is 1-800-SOUTHWEST. When I was living in the US (two years ago, so it may have changed), this number rang the Shuttle by United reservation center. Not, as you might expect, Southwest Airlines.

    Southwest had to set up their reservation center at 1-800-IFLYSWA, which doesn't exactly roll trippingly off the tongue, if you ask me.

    This was made worse by the fact that at the time it was nearly impossible to book a Southwest flight via a travel agent, thanks to SABRE.

    Nowadays, both http://www.southwest.com and http://www.iflyswa.com will get you to Southwest Airlines' homepage, but I remember it was pretty confusing trying to book a flight for awhile.
