Southwest opinions

I am currently looking for plane tickets for 3 of us for a trip in September to Frankfurt and out of Paris, I am finding it quite expensive!! I have only flown Delta and have had good experiences so I tend to stick with what I know. This time due to the prices I am thinking of other airlines. I found that 3 of us could go on Southwest for about $1000 cheaper than Delta on the same dates, so I wanted to see if anyone else has used Southwest and how the experience was.
Really the fun will begin once we get there but it would be nice to have a little comfort and activities (TV, games and such) for the ride. Thanks for your help!!

Southwest to where? Southwest doesn't fly in Europe to my knowledge. I am willing to be corrected on that if I'm wrong. I fly Southwest all the time in the states.

Agree with Crefloors that Southwest is great, but only has routes in the US. If only Southwest and Jet Blue did fly to Europe, with the same service and reasonable prices!!

Where did you get the idea you could fly them to Frankfurt open jaw from Paris?

I read in the paper that SW was looking at a code-share agreement w/American Airlines, but I don't know if that ever happened or not. If you did see something involving SW to Europe, you can bet that the SW part of the trip is only within the continental US. They do not have the necessary aircraft to fly overseas, according to the article I read.
