  • Southwest plans to offer pricier seats with extra legroom and end open seating on its planes.
  • The shifts are the most major in the airline’s more than five decades of flying.
  • Southwest expects to start selling seats with the new cabin option next year.

    Guess they’re upgrading to Windows 95 and getting some new features in the process!

    I hate them removing open seating though, which airline experts have found is basically the fastest, easiest system for boarding planes. Obviously just to allow per-sest pricing, the bane of travellers everywhere.
