Hi my name is Al. I am a long time SW customer. I recently seen a video of a woman being kicked off a flight at Montego Bay to accommodate a person of size. My question is that if I purchase a ticket and southwest needs to accommodate a person of size with my seat, will I be kicked off the plane and stranded? Further, do these people of size have to purchase the accommodation before hand or can it be done at the gate or short notice? That would be much worse, for me the strandie, as I would be stuck at the airport and have no where to go. Essentially, finding out at boarding that my plans for the next 3 days have changed. In the video I am referring to it seems like SW was completely unprepared and sent the woman's bags to Denver while stranding her. I can't allow myself to be in the same situation. I would like clarity and my 2 questions answered. I am very afraid to book southwest at the moment.
