I'm taking my first ever SW trip (likely my last) on 11/10, Islip NY to LV. I've read every thing here and elsewhere on the web about the new seating policy. I have long legs and always try to get an exit row seat when possible. Given the new rules, what's my best shot to do this? Also, I did not like reading about "A" listers saving seats for their "B" and "C" list buddies. Apparently, SW personnel allow this routinely. This is unfair but, if it's accepted strategy, I guess you have to use it. IMO, the whole policy is ludicrous but it has certainly worked well for SW. However, it's not for me which is why this will be my first and only SW trip.
