Southwest Airlines is ditching its famous open-seating policy for assigned seats starting Jan. 27. No more racing for the best spot—now you’ll pick from Standard, Preferred, or Extra Legroom seats (for a fee, of course). Some travelers are thrilled for the certainty (and legroom), while others say it’s just a cash grab. Plus-size passengers now have to buy an extra seat up front, but can still get a refund after. End of an era or overdue upgrade? #News #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews
