This means no one is fussing with the TV in the back of my seat. Maybe it’s just my luck, but in the days of monitors in the back of seats, I would invariably get someone sitting behind me using the monitor and touching the screen a lot! Southwest’s system is accessed through your own phone/tablet/laptop. All the entertainment I need travels with me. Check out Southwest’s latest card and others like it here. I get the games that are played with people saving seats and all, but I still like having a choice. If you go for Early Bird Check-in, which I never do, you’ll always have a wide selection of seats to choose from once you get on the plane. Deciding on the spot, rather than ahead of time, where I’ll sit suits me better. I know I’m weird but I rather like not having a seat assignment on domestic flights. I actually prefer not having a seat assignment. There are plenty of tricks available to boost your experience, though. Southwest allows all customers to choose a seat, just not in the same order as other carriers. You’ll be checked in automatically and will likely end up near the head of the line to get an exit row seat, or, at the very least have your choice of window or aisle. It’s true that EarlyBird Check-in costs have gone up and are now from $15-25 each way, no matter how many stops you make. Southwest still allows travelers to check two bags under 50 pounds at no cost. But sometimes we lose sight of the benefits that some airlines still offer. We all complain about rising airfare fees. These days when people accept use-or-lose as the norm from businesses, this reason alone makes Southwest better than other airlines. If I don’t use that ticket, I cancel and save that money for my next flight. When I see a good fare, even if I’m not entirely certain a trip will take place, I grab it. Southwest doesn’t waste your money.Ĭhange your flight? Cancel it and fly later? No charge and no problem. The airline people LUV! Let me tell you why.
