How to Get the Best Seat

Okay so flying...
You always want the middle seat open if you are flying with two, or if by yourself....the entire row??? Can it happen? It can.

First, we basically have to talk about Southwest .... as if there are assigned seats well....there are assigned seats.

So Southwest....
Here are my tricks....
1. Of course, check in 24 hours before - now with the $10 pre check in option, you'll be lucky to get an A.
2. If the flight is full....consider the $10 pre check in. Think of the others things you spend $10 on...compare...
3. If you are flying just two....don't sit next to each right away. One take the aisle, one take the window. This leaves only the middle seat open. People are a lot less likely to take a middle seat than an aisle if you sit next to each other.
4. If the attendants ask everyone to move in, it's a full flight....take your time but move in. Karma.
5. Pull out the Pepto and hold your stomach. Carry on ginger ale and look sick. (Okay - just saying...how long is that flight?)
6. If you want the entire row, it has to be a pretty empty flight. So you need to ask the attendants and be aware of if your flight is full or not. Then you are going to have to go to the back of the flight for your row. For some reason ..... rows 1-5 will always be full even if there is only 15 people on your flight. Strange but people find comfort there???

Okay I've flown A LOT this summer and those are my tricks soo far :) Happy flying!
