Might be okay going there, but SW has overflow line areas inside the airport in Reno. I had never seen anything like it. There is the "go through the zigzag ribbon line", and when it spills out past the end of that line, you get into another line to get into that line! Curbside check-in lines aren't any shorter. Fly cheap, but get ready to stand in line for lonnnnnnng time. Price the ticket according to what your time is worth. $39 out of there (it will be over $50 with taxes and fees) and add on the cost of standing in line for hours just to get your ticket when every other airline will get you ticketed in much less time (15 minutes on Delta during my last visit), then stand in line at security for another hour (Reno is one of the worst airports I've ever experienced for the line to security screening, depending on the time of day), and you'll be happy to pay a little more for the privilege to get in line for screening so much sooner than those folks in the SW lines. Even after that, they board their planes like a cattle drive. It isn't by need, or by the layout of the plane (back rows first, then move toward the front of the plane). The first suckers who got their non-distinct boarding passes get on first and pick their seats. Group A. Group B is next. Group C is last, and if that's you, take the closest-to-the-front-of-the-plane middle seat, forget about an isle or window seat anywhere, even on the next plane. Getting to the airport in Reno four hours before a SW flight won't cut your time in line. There will be hundreds of other suckers already there for earlier flights. Bring a chair if you have weak ankles, knees, or lower back.

I have flown almost every domestic airline within the USA in the last 20 years. I am approaching a cumulative million flyer miles (small potatoes for an international traveler, but all of mine are contiguous 48 states travel}. Over that time frame, I flew SW once, 4 years ago, a connecting flight both ways with ATA. Never again. Never! I'm too old to waste the time standing in their lines to save a few bucks, and I want to know where I'm sitting on the plane before I board it. SW should paint their planes to look like railroad cattle cars.

...sorry for the rant, but I'd pay for a ticket on another airline before accepting a free flight from SW. ATA was another bad experience during the same trip, but I'll leave that for another day.
