I live in the Netherlands, and have been trying to access the southwest airlines website for months. I&#x27;ve always failed at this, and the website simply blurts out:<p>Access Denied You don&#x27;t have permission to access &quot;<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.southwest.com&#x2F;&quot;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.southwest.com&#x2F;&quot;</a> on this server. Reference #18.93643e17.1506590830.9a2c74<p>I&#x27;ve contacted customer support, and had this brief exchange:<p>&quot;Well thank you for following up with us! Are you trying to access our website outside of the U.S. by chance? ^Emilia<p>Yes, i am in the Netherlands. Why would that make any difference?<p>We&#x27;ve been made aware that some Customers outside of North America are experiencing trouble with <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;Southwest.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;Southwest.com</a>, and we are working hard to resolve this issue. In the meantime, we&#x27;d be happy to help you phone at 1-800-435-9792. While we are unable to book reservations through social media, if you have any questions, we&#x27;re also happy to help with those through here. ^Emilia &quot;
