Man, after this thread and others like it, I am planning my strategy for our first SW flight next year ALREADY. We got the SW card and bonus points/companion pass for a trip this year that had to be postponed, so we’re definitely going to fly SW from PHL to MCO. I’ll be flying with my husband, 3 kids 7 and under, and a lap infant. If I book the earliest flight of the day, buy EBCI for myself/the baby and my 2 most annoying kids, then strategically place them near the back of the plane, hopefully we’ll get lucky and all be together.
Lol.
