It would be such a great service for SWA to have assigned seats. There have been so many comments provided that support this request on your blog, and other places. Just reading the comments today, so many of them address the stress of boading and seating. Why in the world would you think it ok for a parent not to sit next to their child, and unless they preboard for toddlers, it is just at the mercy of when you get to board. I stopped using SWA primarily because of the stress of seating. I fly cross country to pick up my grand daughter to stay with me several weeks each year and then fly back with her ( 3 round trip tickets). I only do that so she does not travel alone. I had 3 instances where no one would volunteer to change seats so I could sit next to her. The flight attendant could not insist either. One time my GD was only 7. Even when traveling with older persons, part of the joy of traveling is traveling "together" with the family or friend you travel with. For this reason, I do not use SWA. I will pay a little more to ensure this feature which is so important to me.
