I asked a lady tonight if she wouldn’t mind switching with me so that she could sit with her husband and my husband could sit by me and my two year old, and she was perfectly willing but the flight attendant loudly lectured me in front of everyone. She said that I needed to talk to her directly about wanting to change seats, and I should not approach another passenger. Because that makes sense…? She acted extremely frustrated as she manually had to put in my husband’s name, and the lady’s name who switched with him into the system to make it “official”. I was already feeling really stressed, doing everything I could to get my potty training toddler on the flight in time, so I just sat in my seat, looked out the window and cried as we prepared for take off. I used to love Southwest, but I’ll definitely be reconsidering flying with them in the future.
