![]() ![]() I fully support those with disabilites and think they should be allowed the opportunity to have extra time to get themselves settled. This is why this was frustrating - especially after the Southwest announcement stated that if you miss your boarding call, then you miss the opportunity to board with the group called. This just felt of entitlement and cheating the system for those that paid for premium seats. What irritated me is that in this situation, the people weren't really preboarding - the A group was called, and the people in question had C boarding passes and cut in front of all the A group. I guess I start buying the cheap seats and carrying a cane. Airlines can't force people with disabilities to sit in specific seats or at the rear nof the plane either - the exception being emergency rows.

This scam is totally out of control.A group should be the first to board if this is going to be the new normal. Why offer business class if everyone is going to claim they need pre-board?. I could have just paid regular price if I knew this was the case. Please check with your airline for any size or weight restrictions. I paid a lot extra so I could board early so I wouldn't miss my bus home, and no southwest personnel did anything.

Domestic Flights: Reservations must be made in advance by calling 1-800-I-FLY-SWA (1-80). Frequent flyer status and persistence also appear to play a role. I ended up in row 6 because of the so called needing more time, and reality proved they were fine other than overweight. Pets traveling are subject to a 95 Pet Fare each way per pet carrier. There were several others that also cut in front of A boarding. they walked normal, no canes or other equipment. Then at least 4 overweight people with C boarding passes cut in front. I paid for business select and had A1 boarding. Thought from tuscon to Denver.I understand disabilities needing more time and boarding first. ![]()
