I'm hesitant to book another trip on SWA because the last trip was quite unenjoyable for the following reasons: 1) my husband and I were unable to sit together during at least one leg of a lengthy multi-leg trip; 2) I was forced to sit in the middle seat with an extremely large gentleman who was sitting in my seat as much as in his own; 3) we weren't allowed to disembarc the plane during a "layover" so I wasn't able to eat for about 9 hours (our flight left so early from MCO that nothing was open at the airport concessions). How should I handle these issues should they re-occur? Checking in online 24 hours ahead isn't always available while traveling - will SWA ever allow auto check in to insure priority boarding?
