A Southwest suggestion

[CarolA]

I know a lot of you like to line up to make sure you get to sit together.... you might want to ask the gate agent about the flight.

I had two SW flights today and one yesterday. All of them were half full. When I asked last night I was told the flight would have 62 passengers. People were sitting there for an hour and a half waiting to get on. Maybe they have specific rows, but... more likely they wanted to be sure they could sit together. If the plane is that empty you probably don't need to camp unless you just enjoy it.

GREAT suggestion.

We flew with SWA 2 January's ago, and when we checked in, I thought the gate looked AWFULLY empty, so I asked at the counter. There were a total of 24 passengers booked on the flight, and only 18 actually showed up. 18 passengers total!!!

It was a VERY nice flight, and DS got lots of attention from the FA's. I'm pretty sure we were all A passes.

We fly SWA out of RDU quite regularly. I always ask, even though I print out our boarding passes online.

Good suggestion to pass on.
