I have B 56,57 for SW, just how bad is that?

[Donna M]

I was 3 minutes late logging in and have, what I think are very high numbers. Will there still be rows empty towards the back, or are we looking at middle seats?

We are leaving tomorrow and I checked in right at noon on the dot and I got B15 but my son who was on the same conformation number got B17 and my sister-in-law who I did 10 seconds later got B34. I have the same question will we be able to find three seats together? I'm sure it will be near the back but that's fine with me. We bought the early boarding for the return home just to save on the stress. Donna M were are you flying out of?

You might get lucky heading toward the back and find two seats together. However, let's do the math...

According to Seat Guru, SW planes have between 21-24 rows of 6 seats ( 24 * 6 = 144, 21 * 6 = 126). Even assuming no one in business class, no preboards, and no family boarding, you have 100 people boarding before you (A16-60, B1-55). Add in preboards, family boarding, and business class, and you could have an additional 10-20 people on board before you. If it's on one of the smaller planes (with 21 rows), you'll probably get middle seats. If one of the larger, you might be OK.

Well, at least the middle seats will arrive at the same time. We're heading out of snow covered NH. Today I dug down 2 ft to uncover the oil fill pipe and propane tank which is 3 ft tall. We spent 2 hours shoveling snow off the roof to help make that pile.

Their newest planes have 170 seats - 30 rows. If it's one of those, there should be seats in the back.

I just hope we get out. Southwest just listed Albany all day tomorrow as a warning and that we could switch dates. No way to fly out early this late so just hoping the flight goes. Good luck to everyone trying to get to warmer climates.

We've board almost that high and got a whole row on one side and on across the aisle in the back. We are a family 4. 2 adults and 2 kids.

Thanks. I missed that one.

OP, I'm assuming only 2 of you and that you want to sit next to each other. If that is correct, you only need 1 aisle or window seat to be available and the other person takes the middle. I'm sure you'll be fine.

You are at the tail end of the B board position. so there are 118 people getting on a head of you not counting the families that will board during the family board. So the chances of getting a seat together are very slim.
