I paid for the early bird check in. A36 was my boarding pass. As I get to middle of plane, exit rows are unoccupied. As I get there, there is one guy saving all three seats. And he is also saving the row behind him (which is normal seating) I ask the stewardess (who is standing in the row behind the exit row) if that is allowed, she just ignored me. Towards the end of the boarding his family (the guy saving the two rows) shows up and they proceed to fill the row. I'm furious now. I paid for the chance (albeit a small chance) to get those sets. 4 hour fight to Vegas. Something needs to be done about the abuse of seat saving. I wouldn't even have cared if he saved A seat for his wife, mother, whatever. 12.50 is not a lot of money. It's about being fair to everyone who gets the early bird ticket. Anyone have this happen to them. Southwest will be hearing from me. 9/22 flight from BWI to Vegas at 1:15
