You didn't get to pick your seat on Southwest? I assumed every airline let you pick your seat otherwise I can see there being issues when people want - Krusty Jul 25, 05:01
Yuck -- nm - prayformojo Jul 25, 04:17
Do not want -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 25, 04:12 8
- "When travelers choose a competitor over Southwest, the airline found in its research that its open seating model was the No. 1 reason for that choice -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 04:31 7
  - yup -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 05:33
  - "It also said 80% of its own customers prefer an assigned seat." -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 04:32 5
    - if travelling with family I would imagine so. were there rules to keep kids with a parents? or just a free for all? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 25, 04:37 3
      - Yes, though I forget the age limit. They are also supposed to keep it within reason - we don't need 6 adults to board early with 1 child. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 25, 04:53 1
        
        huh -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 25, 05:32
      - I don't honestly know. I'm in the first group mentioned "avoid southwest because of lack of assigned seats" -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 04:37
    - That seems…unlikely. Unless 80% of their customers aren’t timely in loading in to get a boarding group. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 04:35
