How to Select Seat Southwest Airlines?

From the middle of next year, you may be able to book a preferred seat and get assigned seating. Southwest Airlines planes will be retrofitted to accommodate the seating needs of passengers. But, as of now, the airline has an open seating policy. In this Flyostudio blog, we will be giving our readers a walk-through of how Southwest Airlines seat selection works.

How can you Choose your Seats on Southwest Airlines?

On Southwest Airlines, seating is open, meaning you don't have an assigned seat before boarding. Southwest Airlines is available at +1-800-435-9792 to clear your doubts on open seating policy. Instead, you will be assigned a boarding group and a boarding position when you check in. The boarding position will be displayed on your boarding pass. At the gate, you’ll find numbered posts indicating where to line up based on your boarding group and position. When your group is called, head to your designated spot in line. Boarding occurs in numerical order within each group, so passengers with earlier positions board first, followed by others in the group. Once onboard, you can choose any available seat. Here is how open seating helps you.

• No need to worry about a reserved seat. Occupy an aisle or window seat in front, middle, or back.
• You’ll find all the overhead bins empty if you’re the first to board.

How much does Southwest Airlines Charge for Seats?

On Southwest Airlines, all seats are the same. So, there are no charges for seats. But, passengers can choose the seat they want if they are allowed to board ahead of others. If you have business select fare, priority boarding is included in the fare. Automatic check-in 36 hours before departure is ensured if you hold Anytime fare. This may help you board earlier. Otherwise, early bird check-in can be added to 'Want to Get Away' and 'Wanna Get Away Plus' fares for payment. Boarding can also be upgraded on payment. Southwest Airlines seat selection fee will vary on the popularity of the route and flight time. Here are the payments you are likely to make. 

• Early bird check-in – $15-$99 one-way, per customer
• Upgraded boarding – $30-$149 per segment, per Customer

All seats are the same on Southwest. But, the boarding group you’re assigned will ensure you find the best one. Southwest Airlines available at +1-800-435-9792 can help you understand how you can get your favorite spot in the plane. We can also assist you when you call us at +1-844-414-9223.
