Type of plane SW is flying on a particular flight

[Sandysbuddy]

We will be flying on SW Monday from STL to MCO. We have never flown with them before. I am always a little nervous about flying and feel more comfortable on larger planes. Is there a way to tell what type/size of aircraft they are using for the flight? Thanks.

All Southwest flights are 737s. 6 seats across, with the aisle in the middle (3 on each side, except for one exit row). The "model" might be different - the newer ones have slightly bigger overhead bins, but the planes themselves are all 737s. It's actually part of their master plan to keep costs down.

I always fly SWA. The flight attendants are very nice and often quite amusing. I'm sure you'll have a great flight!

Yep, they are all 737's. Even if its a short flight to somewhere it will be a fullsize jet. No puddle jumpers. One of the reasons I use them and go thru BWI or BNA to get to Raleigh NC. There is a non stop I think thru another airline, but it's a smaller plane, and I really dont want that . Am sure lots have no problems, but I like the 737's.

Thanks so much! That makes me feel much better. Puddle jumpers make me very nervous!
