Going to Southwest's own web site, here is there exit row guidelines. No mention of anyone being too old.

Yes, that was acknowledged in the very first response to the OP. What created the additional discussion was your incorrect assertion that Southwest was violating some non-existent federal law.

@floridaguy SIGH!!! Did you actually read that??? It's ALL about employment.
"your employer refuses to allow you"
"you are not eligible to be promoted"
"during a training session at work"
"your colleague complains of being called a 'wrinkly' at work"
Please, please, please GO AWAY

@floridaguy ok Mr. Legal Expert, please show me one example where age discrimination laws apply to something other than employment or hiring. They certainly do not apply to where you can sit on a plane.

If the gate agent actually announced that "over 50" was a restriction, they are in violation of Federal laws covering discrimination. I would contact their office and demand accountability for such blatant disregard for persons "over 50".
@floridaguy Are you actually serious??? Please tell me you're just being annoying and not serious. Age discrimination laws only apply to hiring and employment practices. Why do you continue to post such nonsense???

That does seem to be off script and it's worth writing to Southwest directly to let them know about it. Use the contact us link at the bottom of this page and send a message. Be sure to include the specific flight details so they can address the concern with the crew.

@floridaguy It doesn't matter if you fly Delta, United, Frontier, Emirates, Southwest, or any other airline, you don't get refunds just because you didn't get the "value" you expected. How is this "preserving and defending" anyone?

Please excuse @floridaguy for being less than helpful, that's just how he is. In an attempt to actually be helpful and answer your question I would suggest you look on SWA Life as you'll have more employees there. This Community is primarily a customer to customer forum.

Still skeptical about this entire post, but I'll play along. How long ago did you purchase EarlyBird? Is EarlyBird shown on the boarding pass?

You bought upgraded boarding and couldn't sit together? That combined with calling it business class and I'll call BS on this post. Nice try

While there is one "contributor" who may disagree with those of us with actual knowledge of Southwest, the truth is the system worked as expected and there is no justification for a refund. Not knowing what you are buying is no excuse for requesting a refund. If you don't think it's worth the charge then don't buy it again, but you got what you paid for and cannot justify a refund. Yes, all views are welcome, it's just some are not based in any sort of truth or reality.

It appears that link needs some updates. Log into your RR account and click on Rapid Rewards on the top bar, then scroll down and you'll see the "Request Past Flight Points" section.

You can request credit for past flights, more information is here:

When you make reservations make sure your Rapid Rewards account number is included on your reservation and that your name matches the RR account name.

I would argue you will have more legroom in a normal seat versus the bulkhead as you can put your leg under the seat and stretch out. When you are in the bulkhead there's a wall and there's (obviously) no going past it. If you're really lucky you can try to get the infinite legroom seat, it's the seat at the emergency exit row that does not have a seat in front of it. As it is an emergency exit row seat preboarding would prevent you from being able to sit there so Business Select or upgraded boarding in the A1-15 positions would be your best bet.

At $100 it sounds like you received EarlyBird for 2 people on a roundtrip itinerary and based on the boarding positions you received you were assigned a boarding position early like you were promised. When you check-in for your return flights you will also see you have received the benefits of EarlyBird. The upgraded boarding option is also available to anyone, but the $80 charge you saw was just for two people for one flight as that charge is per flight. So, while upgraded boarding does get better boarding positions (if available), it does cost quite a bit more compared to EarlyBird, especially if you are flying routes with connections.
Before making silly comments about lawsuits please ask questions and seek to understand what you are purchasing. If you don't understand, don't spend the money. It's all pretty straightforward.

@floridaguy clearly this conversation has gone over your head (again). As noted before, please keep your comments relevant to the topic of the thread. For example, this thread is about being removed from a flight. Your comments were not about that. It's more complicated than understanding how to reply so it may be a challenge for you. Please try to do better.

What you are referring to is specifically mentioned in policy for changing flights, not cancelling and rebooking. Cancelling forfeits all EB.
https://www.southwest.com/help/booking/earlybird-checkin
If I have EarlyBird Check-In and choose to change my flight, will the EarlyBird Check-In transfer as well? EarlyBird Check-In can be transferred only if the new flight departs more than 25 hours from the time of the change. If the new flight departs in less than 25 hours, then you will lose your non-refundable EarlyBird Check-In purchase. Additionally, if the change to your reservation involves a new city pair(s), you will need to contact us to have the EarlyBird Check-In transferred.
Additionally, here's the policy regarding cancelling:
Is EarlyBird Check-In refundable?
EarlyBird Check-In purchases are non-refundable. Customers who cancel their flight will forfeit the previously purchased EarlyBird Check-In option for that particular flight.

If you cancel to take advantage of the promo you will lose EarlyBird and no credit will be provided for it. You can change your flight and retain EB, but that does not let you take advantage of the promotion code.

Credit card holders were "gifted" 10,000 points towards earning Companion Pass. These points were not spendable like normal points earned and just reduced the required number of points needed to earn Companion Pass. You will only see them reflected in the Companion Pass earning progress meter in My Account.

Different cards have different earning rates for various categories of spending. You can view them all here:
https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/southwest/AEP50kPlus323
The sign up bonuses are the best ways to earn points from credit cards. There are also plenty of ways to earn points other than credit cards such as hotels, dining, shopping, and flying.

Last, book the companion since you might use up the last two spots in the current fare bracket with the kids and then if you did that in reverse with the companion ticket the points value for the kids might be higher.
This is an awesome tip! I recently ran into a similar situation... price on a trip I had booked went down so I canceled my companion's reservation so I could rebook my reservation at the lower price. When I canceled the companion the fare dropped even more as it freed up a fare in the lower priced bucket.

Yes, if you book a child under the age of 12 without an adult you will be prompted to enter the confirmation number of an adult who is flying on the same flight. Then the child is no longer consider unaccompanied.
