Add me to the people who find this a big improvement. our local airport, BUF always has lots of pre boarders, so the "anxious A" people are in line a full hour before the plane leaves, almost always before the plane lands.
Add to that the problem of finding a business center to print our return flight boarding passes while on vacation, and I would much rather have assigned seats.
In a related question, does anyone know the brand and model of a very small travel printer that will print the passes so they will "read" properly? Or can anyone tell me about what definition the printer needs to be for the passes to "read". Thanks.

Dear Bill,
i think you have been patient and helpful with a situation beyond your control. Thanks.
For the people with the rude comments to those who are having difficulties due to this short time frame Southwest is offering, why do you even care? If you are not having any problem and love all things Southwest, why even read this blog.
There are several other blogs that deal with the things Southwest does very well. Go read them and be happy. Your sophmoric comments don't make you or Southwest look any better.
I hope Southwest makes an effort to keep at least 120 days available, and I will be happy to buy their product.
See you all at 10 AM on the 8th.

Francisco,
I thought the whole point of a blog was to allow the exchange of different opinions. I don't feel Southwest is evil, and I am not spoiled. I just agree with the people who would like Southwest to change a business policy that makes it difficult for me to travel. Maybe it's because most of my flights are at least 4 hours long, but I don't really enjoy flying on any airline. Do you?

Add me to the list of those tired of waiting for new dates to open. I share many of the problems others who travel to Las Vegas have expressed. Hotels and car rentals go up while we wait. From my airport (BUF) Southwest is the only non stop to Las Vegas.
There are other things about Southwest that I don't enjoy, but could live with: for example, no assigned seats. in some airports, people are standing in line a full hour before the flight leaves. I fly three or four times a year, so I never quite get a free ticket. Still my other complaints would be minor if I could count on being able to book 120 days in advance.
You seem like a real nice guy, Bill. Still, if a viable non stop alternative to Southwest starts flying here, they will probably get my business.
