I have a real issue with the way Southwest does Family boarding at the gate. They announce that parents traveling with children 6 years and younger can use family boarding. But... They need to allow Families with Children considered Minors to be able to board during this time. Southwest charges a premium for Unaccompanied Minors, but I am A-List Preferred, but my family is not... this is a major issue. Of course I can board with my daughter at the end of B... but Unless I pay another premium for priority check-in My family usually gets middle to end of B group. Which in many cases is middle seat only at the end of B. So essentially my 10 year old is now a unaccompanied Minor... now sitting by themselves somewhere else on the plane. Please revise your policy to state Families Traveling with Minor's can board with Family Boarding. It has only been an issue at one or two airports, but each time I request for the gate attendants suvervisor right then... they reluctantly allow my 10 year old to board with Family boarding. We use the SWA CC and I travel exclusively with SWA, but My family who uses the same CC and endures my trips with SWA for business have no perks. At the minimum people traveling with A-List Preferred should be allowed to board between A and B. Thanks, David
