Makes me glad I don’t fly.

The problem is that many people check their brains when they check their baggage. You see these people walking down the isle and cannot figure out how the seats are numbered and that big bags cannot fit in storage unit.

...and protests held nationwide in support of a nursing mother who was ordered off a plane because she wouldn't cover up.

That's not true. She was nursing under a blanket and the flght attendant still didn't like it.

As for the other stuff I never really thought of it but it makes sense. Let everyone board and then let the kids board with their parents.

I don’t care who boards first.

I just wish the stewardesses would stop using the non-word “pre-boarding.”

I hate Southwest because of their cattle-call boarding. Nevertheless, I’ll fly them if they’re the only non-stop to where I’m flying, or if they’re significantly cheaper than anyone else.

I fly 150,000 miles a year. I still can't figure out why when ailines load by zones, that means the front of the plane first rather than the back.

In that same vein, I get upgraded to First often. I hate sitting up there getting dirty looks from tourists passing by for ---- as I subsidize their coach ticket with my full fare business one.

I never understood why airlines always let old ladies, handicapped and people with children board first. All this does is gum up the works for the people behind them.

[TornadoAlley3]

I prefer the tots board first, then I know where not to sit.

what about the old people who can barely move getting on board first and taking forever to get to their seat, let alone put their luggage away.....why is it just the families with children that are getting the bump?

maybe SWA has it wrong....maybe all those people with "dissabilities" along with their tagalongs should board last, so as to make the process much smoother...

I love traveling on SWA but not because of their boarding system.....you have to be quick to get an "A" card but then you have to wait personally in line to actually get a good seat...

of course there's several ways that people "wait" in line...some just stand or plump down on the floor, others try leaving their luggage there in line to hold a space...

in reality, you still have people trying to cram in the front of the line......

I have no idea how the "B" and "C" people do it....
