Southwest to Test Assigned Seating
June 21 2006
Next month, Southwest Airlines will test assigned seating on some of its flights out of San Diego. If assigned seats are adopted, this would be a huge change for the carrier, which has always forced customers into a cattle call without a seat assignment. Assuming the change doesn’t add additional time to boarding, Southwest would consider rolling it out. Many passengers hate not having assigned seats, though Southwest had been oddly hard-headed about even considering assigned seats. Glad to see they’re having a change of heart.

Many of us happen to like open seating. I feel that I have a better chance to get a good seat. It also speeds up the process.
