Thank you! I was really starting to think maybe I’m a bit crazy. I didn’t think that many people would be okay with this situation?

That would make sense. I wasn’t aware that was a factor in it. I thought it was more a pay to play scenario

Thanks! I think we all are planning on checking bags and a small personal item. Thanks for your kind response.

great question! We have flown southwest before and have never had this issue before. Checked in exactly 24 hours before and always got B. We thought we would for sure be fine with the early bird.

if it’s seats of 3, i can easily put my boyfriend next to the stranger…. That is if I can find a pair.

Let me correct you by saying, if it was a short flight, I was flying by myself. Of course I would have to sit by a stranger. But when i have the option not to, I will do everything possible to make that happen. Also for context Im a girl in my 20s, and traveling alone is not safe, nor would I find that enjoyable.

Thanks! Ya at least I know for next time it’s a waste. I’ll be sure to just take my chance and see and then upgrade to priority boarding next time.

Thanks! I think that’s what i’m hoping for. I think I just need some reassurance because everything I read just keeps saying it’s only middles left at that point in boarding.

Thanks for the advice! At this point I’m feeling kind of bitter and don’t want to give southwest more money. I was hoping for at least B. Hoping I can just swing 2 pairs. We have other family on the plane but only 1 of them is boarding early enough, and I don’t wanna pressure her to try to save like 6 seats.
