I do it every trip...preferably the exit rows...but definitely NOT the row right in front of exit rows (seats don't recline)

Buddy of mine played college football,,6'7 300 pounds,,his wife is like 4'9 90 pounds,,He always pays extra to be one of the first on board to get the exit row, because of the extra room. Last trip coming home from Vegas some guy had sat down and my buddy plopped down right beside him. Guy said Im sorry but I am saving that seat for my wife.My buddy said where is she?He said oh she's in boarding group C. My buddy sad well I guess she will have to see what seats are left! Guy called the FA and the FA told him if you can make that big dude move then get after it!Guy stormed to the back...There is going to be a brawl one day and I am guessing SWA will have to come up with a policy..
Like I said above, getting on a plane turns people into animals. They care only about their wants and give zero shits about anyone/anything else.
I thought they had a policy but they don't. There are a lot of topics about it when searching google.

If someone says they are saving a seat, you can take it if you want to be a dick.
I would imagine it all depends which side you are on,,If you are saving it and someone takes it then THEY are the dick,,,If you are wanting it and someone says they are saving it then THEY are the dick,,Either way its a dick and I aint interested!:0002
Yeah, I stay away from conflicts like that, it's not that important to me.
Man, I really hate airports and flying and the lines and people that come with it.
Reading that thread confirms that people are the self entitled nut low of the planet. The nut low of airlines on that planet is still SWA.
Why can they assign a boarding spot but not a seat? Just stupid.

Lets see here brilliant one....
1. chance two flights versus one
2. 60 dollars non-stop versus 100 connecting????? And, you are guaranteed walking on early in A group. 4 seats together is easy. You cant do two and two together worst case? Easily all will be together. Are you really comtemplating this?
Smartest guy I know.......oh yeah, can pack extra stuff if needed going or coming because checked bags are free. Guess you just have a hard-on for the airline, period. You might be the only one on the planet. Their on-time is pretty awesome with me over many years.

No, you are not guaranteed to get in the "A" group. You get checked in behind business class, people with A-Priority and people who bought anytime fares, THEN you get checked in with all those who purchased early check in in the order everyone bought tickets.
I have an AMEX gold Delta Skymiles card so baggage fees are not a concern as they are waived for me.
As far as the "on time" argument, I would check the facts if I were you.

Edit to add= That link is from last year, current rankings are not much different. Delta #2 On Time ranking 82.76, Southwest 78.55%.
I've never been in B zone with the earlybird checkin. So many flights to even guess how many. I'm a Delta guy too but not being able to go to Vegas nonstop from Indianapolis kills that option. I always take a look and think about it though. I used Allegiant to Vegas nonstop but they don't have WIFI so that's a deal breaker.

You do see the irony, right? What makes you and your group more entitled to sit together any more than other people that are in groups? They will face the same seating system, so you do your best, and if you can't sit together, you
:stfu:

Actually, that's why I was considering paying more to fly on an airline that doesn't use that system, hence the question.
Side question, how much of a chubby to you and Joker get when you see me start a thread and how often do each of you end up in the ER tripping over yourselves to get to it?
I do seem to be the object of each of your affection. You could just stay the fuck out of the threads because, as I have said, I hold your opinions to no value whatsoever.
