DALLAS, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwest Airlines Customers LUV the coveted "A" boarding group, and now they have one more way to be among the first to board. Beginning today, Southwest Airlines will offer Customers the opportunity to purchase one of the earliest boarding positions at the gate for $40 per flight, when available. "At Southwest, we have developed boarding options that fit a variety of our Customers' needs—from EarlyBird Check-In to our Business Select… (southwest.investorroom.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Business select used to be $15.00 and boarded before A group. The latest greatest new deal? WTF? And from Southwest yet, my how they have grown. And I get the window seat Wallace, so they have to work to assault me with those huge bags.
Yea, I'm a window seater too. I like to see where we are when it's not cloudy. Good for sleeping too-not good for bathroom usage. Lol
Me three. Never really have a problem getting a window seat and on SWA I usually don't go far enough to have to 'go' enough for it to be a problem.
I like the window seat because I can look out of the window. Or I can sleep while leaning against the fuselage. Can't do that in an aisle seat.
Third. nobody need climb over me to get to the restroom.
I learned my lesson real early about aisle seats. The only time I selected an aisle seat I got stuck next to a woman with a bladder the size of a thimble. What a jerk. Two hour flight and she had to pee three times? The third or 4th time I pretended to be asleep and kept her from getting up for a bit just to torture the wench.

Here's the real import of this: those of you who check in properly early and get, say a B20 number, could end up bumped further down the line effectively as people buy spots in front of you.
I agree -- this is a pathetic move, and doesn't do anything to lessen the boarding-process antagonism that the airlines have created these days.

It has been proven that boarding people in windows seats first saves more time & money. If all these airlines were serious about "customer satisfaction" instead of enticements of boarding first they should just board passengers but windows passengers first then the plane could turn around faster, thus saving the airline money. But this is simply a "revenue raising exercise" nothing to do with customer satisfaction nor time/money saving.
Don't get me started on people who try to get onto a plane when their row has not been called.
People who get onto a plane first don't take-off first.
I am quite happy to be last on the plane thankyou when all the crazy people have seated.
Sorry but when people get to an Airport their IQ drops 50%! Why because of an Airlines Mismanagement.
Sorry about the rant :)
