Just flew home on Southwest from a conference and I kind of hate their seating policy. The first leg was pretty empty so I had a row to myself, but the way back was more full.
First issue, I had business select with priority boarding, but there were a bunch of people with wheelchairs who get to preboard and bring their whole families with them so the first 7 rows are taken up by the time that Group A even goes on the plane.
I was able to get a front row window seat, so extra legroom, which wasn't bad. But it got awkward because the guy in the aisle seat put all his stuff in the middle seat to block it and told people walking by that he was saving it for someone. So when everyone boarded and no one was there, some guy got mad and wanted to sit there in the front middle, making a little bit of a scene. It was annoying for me since there were plenty of aisle and window seats toward the back but this guy plopped down there and it cut into my space a little. But it was only an hour flight and the leg room in front and window let me kind of lean out of the way.
I heard they're going to switch to assigned seating next year, which, after this experience, I'm on board for. The open seating is such a clown show.
