@minecraftgender Southwest offers family boarding between groups A and B specifically so younger kids don't get split up from their parents no matter what group they're in! I'm not saying this means they're a paragon of virtue or anything, they're an airline lol. But the first-checked-in first-seated system is not the only thing they've got going on. Shit still happens, but "almost 100% will get split up" is not true. And if families flying together check in as early as possible, they'll almost 100% be able to sit together because they will board first anyway!

I am pointing all the other guns with the rest of y'all, though.

I am pointing a gun at all airlines and demanding an explanation as to why we are forced to board planes in the least efficient way possible (front to back) other than stroking the egos of the like 12 "priority" passengers.

I am also pointing a second gun at all airlines and demanding to know if the priority passengers in the aisle seats actually like to be jostled around by the hundreds of other passengers trying to squeeze by them.

#and if you want a guarantee of sitting together no matter what time you check in #don't.....fly with Southwest? lol #idk i just prefer southwest when i have the chance BECAUSE they don't overbook #and because whenever they have screwed up they have compensated me for their fuckups #i am sure this doesn't always happen #but like. don't attack Southwest when you can fly American Airlines or something and definitely sit together #southwest is the only airline I've found that actually is not actively unpleasant and to work with #and again: they don't overbook their flights. i think that's worth some hassle #the only time I've seen them have to shuffle passengers around it was because a smaller plane showed up than expected #and there weren't enough seats because the plane the flight had been booked for was bigger #flying
