Southwest Airlines celebrated for policy to give a full row to 'passengers of size' for free

 

I can guarantee you if SWA was selling out flights they wouldn’t be giving away free seats to these fat pigs.

I’ve been walking past a lot of SWA gates with what looks like maybe 30 pax getting ready to board a 73. I’ve now flown with a few commuters who have mentioned how easy SWA has been to commute on lately because the flights are wide open.

 

Why would any traveler not want to fly SWA this winter?

im now worried about the long term viability of SWA. They can’t ever take this away.

 

Exactly. Ghosts of Christmas' Past coming in...

 

if i were traveling southwest i would def book two seats ahead of time and then get my refund after. Who are they to say I’m not super fat? If i identify as super fat they can’t say I’m not. This insanity has got to stop.

 

yet if your 6'8" but normal weight. Too bad so sad.

 

When i was often being flown around for work at a previous non 121 job, travel people "YOU WOULDN'T BUY FIRST CLASS IF YOU WERE PAYING"

"No, but I'm 6'5". I will gladly pay for exit row or early boarding to get one on SWA"

 

Southwest are my go to when non-revving, especially with family as they're normally wide open unlike my own airline.

 

The year is 2093. Southwest has just reported a $12T Q3 loss. A Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes themed Southwest 737-700 closes its door prior to pushback at LAX. On board is a single 560 lb non-binary neurodivergent furry sitting in the very first seat, and a DAL bound pickle ball team made up of 10 HQ employees packed tightly around the fire exit row furiously posting selfies to Instagram and LinkedIn. A few are singing and dancing. Everyone pre-boarded. Unfortunately, these were the only tickets available for this flight due to a new “SafeSpace” campaign for “non-conforming” passengers. Financially the flight operates at a $98,000 loss. But the DEI champions across the globe rejoice for its progressiveness. The flight attendants are cattily disgusting the finer points of the ongoing Contract 2070 discussions that are still taking place. Captain advises it’ll be smooth the entire way. They opt to play it safe and remain seated. The captain apologizes to all 11 pax. The plane jerkily pushes back at 21:58 lcl , 1 hour and 8 minutes late.
