  • Southwest plans to offer pricier seats with extra legroom and end open seating on its planes.
  • The shifts are the most major in the airline’s more than five decades of flying.
  • Southwest expects to start selling seats with the new cabin option next year.

    One time, my mom and I had a connecting flight but like literally no layover time. We had to run from one gate as soon as we deboarded to the next (DFW, btw), so she asked the flight attendants if there was anything they could do.

    They actually had everyone wait to let us get off first so we could make our connecting flight, and we just barely made it. That’s about the only time that’s happened, though.

    Another time I missed my flight by literally 30 seconds. Security took a long-ass fuckin time to get through because it was the ass crack before dawn, and they closed the door to the gate, as I was running up to it. The woman at the desk barely even looked up when I came by to try to get on.
