First time flying Southwest Airlines,what to expect?
- Thread starter skeetsinternal
- Start date
I don't even really get how the seating group assignments work.
Every time I fly SW I set my phone alarm to 5 minutes before it's exactly 24 hours before my flight departure to get online and check in and I always end up with the end of the A seating group or early to mid B's
I JUST WANT THAT A1
You choose your own seat.
The way the seating groups work is, the higher your seating group is, the earlier you get to to board. Usually they board like A1-A30, then A31-A60, then B1-B30, B31-B60, etc. I think the people with A1-A30 are usually either business class or people who reserved their tickets WAAAY in advance.
Regardless of seating group you get to sit where you want (assuming nobody else is there) but the later you board, the more seats will already be taken. If you're in Group C you're pretty much taking leftovers.

I flew Southwest one time...NEVER again
Maybe I am a high Fuh-lootin nigruh but I like my airlines to have order...they have some no assigned seats policy..shyt it like a elementary school lunchroom
I like the option to order a lil sippy sippy ( nah no liquor on this flight bruh)...they gave me pretzels...they aint have no peanuts when i flew..how does a airlines have no peanuts
they were an hour late to board and an hour late for my connecting flight home
i think that shyt was run by Snoop and the c00n squad

Yeah I get that. I guess I shoulda said I don't get how I always check in exactly 24 hours from when my flight is scheduled to depart but I still end up in the B section.
More people are buying the business class/early bird price than I realized I suppose

Group C then Group B for connecting flight
