[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What in the world makes you think all 4 seats will near each other? If you ask me to switch my seat that I did select ahead of time, I will kindly respond with “No.”. [/quote]
You’d rather sit next to 4 yr old Larla? 
But OP knows the right answer here. [/quote]

Before Southwest allowed you to pay extra to get a seat, that's exactly what some people did. On a flight that I was unable to check in early to, I was flying with my 4 yr old. There were no seats together. When the airline attendant first asked for volunteers for someone to switch, no one volunteered. The flight attendant sort of shrugged, and so my 4 yr old looked for seats near-ish each other. It wasn't until I asked someone to please excuse me so I could make sure her seatbelt was on properly before someone volunteered to move so we could sit together. (The person who gave up their aisle seat got another aisle seat, it was just a couple rows removed.) The whole process took what seemed like forever and it was incredibly frustrating. I can only imagine that situations like that helped Southwest realize they needed to provide a system to allow for us to make sure this doesn't happen.

Which is my answer. Yes, you can save money, but by making other people do something for you that they didn't sign up to do. You have the opportunity to take care of the situation yourself. Don't depend on the graciousness of strangers just to save some money. [/quote]
