No issues with that. Just make it so I don’t get called to the front of the class when I don’t preboard due to being big. I even told them I was boarding in A4, they still had me preboard. Even if I don’t preboard, I can’t sit in an exit row seat so that’s not a big deal to me. I just continue to take my normal 5D seat and enjoy my empty middle seat. My parents are both disabled travelers and always preboard from wheel chairs. And always wait until others get off. It’s just easier for everyone. But if you are only using the preboard to get your lucky seat and not really in need, sit and wait for everyone to get off the plane!!  ... View more

I am a customer of size, I book and pay for my extra seat when I make a reservation so I do not displace anyone already on the flight by doing it at the airport. I request my refund after travel is complete. I’m also A List Preferred and try to not use the preboard that comes with the extra seat. However at most airports when I don’t preboard, they page me out of line to preboard. Other than being a big guy, I’m not disabled but SWA customer of size policy says I preboard.  ... View more

I’ve flown with firearms for over 20 years, both military and civilian LEO. Declare your firearm when you check it in, follow the screening instructions of each individual airport, they almost all vary.  Claim your bag at the other end and be on your merry way. No added security, only TSA knows your bag has a firearm. No worries.  ... View more
