If you get on a Southwest flight, you have made a trade off decision: I am paying less for my flight, therefore I am willing to put up with the whole herding cattle routine. I won’t have an assigned seat, if I have a large bag I’ll have to get there early so it doesn’t get checked, I might have to be seated in a middle seat, etc. All in all, not that bad if you are paying $79 per leg of your flight.
Yesterday, not one but two, parent/child combinations asked people to move. I know it’s the holiday season and all, but seriously? If these parents really thought it was imperative to sit directly next to their children then they shouldn’t have booked tickets on a Southwest flight. That’s just common sense. Were they really surprised? They should’ve known that there was a non-zero probability they might not end up sitting next to little Sally or Bobby. So parents, if you need to sit next to your kid, don’t book a flight on Southwest and try to guilt everyone else into letting you sit by your kid. Pay the extra $100 a ticket and book seats next to each other.
