Agree 100%. And having a non-stop out of BWI would be a bonus!

I don't know how non-assigned seating can in anyway be considered a plus for the traveller...it's simply a cost saving tool for the airline.
I like SWA because of the flight experience, no bag fees and the minimal issues with changing of booked flights.
Adding seat selection would be an added bonus but that would be a big procedural change for the airline
Still don't understand why they added flights to two Cuban cities before SXM....(became the 8th airline to do so)

No. Just give me a D*MN seat. You pay $15 and you still have to elbow people out of the way to get a seat. Stupid.

sail2wind said: Carol, just pay the $15 upgrade, first on, great seats, no luggage charge and very friendly staff. I DID pay that once and still ended up in B because everyone paid it so ended up in same que as if had not paid it. At gate rep said I could pay $25 more and go to A's as business class. It only matters to me because I am not a good flyer and want to have someone I know sitting next to me. Do love the no checked bag fee tho'

In this day and age, I just want a seat that I don't have to elbow someone for. The concept of standing in line just to get a seat, I hate. I have flown Allegiant a couple of times and Spirit a couple of times, and even if you don't pay for a seat, the computer assigns you a seat. To me, that's infinitely better than what SW does. That said, on those airlines, I generally just pay and get an assigned seat....
