These posts make me sad. As a Customer who has had the luxury of paying full price for my ticket then having to sit next to someone who spills over into my seating area, I'm thankful that Southwest is sticking to its Customer of Size policy that it has had since the beginning. I recall my horrid flight to this day, and it was over eight years ago. I was forced to sit on a full aircraft next to a lady who was desperately uncomfortable in her seat and continuously repositioned herself. I had her right leg plastered on mine for the entire flight and--here's the icing on the cake--we were both in shorts, as it was summertime. One of us shaved... one of us didn't. I was disgusted, and my flight was ruined.
So, for all of us other folks who approve of charging for two seats if it is deemed necessary, thank you Southwest Airlines for sticking to your policy and thinking of ALL of your Customers; not just the ones who happen to have a noticeable name in the media. We all LUV you!!
