[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Normally we fly Southwest to visit family. This time United was $800 cheaper, so we are flying United for the first time in several years - what is up with having to pay extra for "preferred seats" which are just regular normal seats that just happen to be in the middle of the airplane? For our family of four, the only "free" seats available on our $400 tickets were the last row in the back of the airplane. If we wanted, we could pay $20/person for the privilege of sitting in the exact same seats, just in the middle of the airplane. There are no perks, no extra legroom or anything, they're just in the middle of the airplane. I am so annoyed at all the nickel and diming!! Just needed to vent.[/quote]

So United without assigned seats was $800 cheaper than Southwest with assigned seats? Did you not realise why? You were comparing apples and oranges. Those seats were cheaper because you were forgoing the ability to choose seating. [/quote]

I thought Southwest has never assigned seats?[/quote]

I heard they are changing that, but not sure when. [/quote]
