It is annoying and will take time for customers to get used to it. My take on this is, even if you check in early, you have to board early in the very queue and follow the line, if you want good seats. If you for some reason board late, although you checked in early, you will end up wondering how to get those 2 adjacent seats for you and your spouse or family. Individual travelers who boarded early would leave 1 seat in the middle, not 2. Then you will need either ask someone to 'adjust' or ask help from Crew.

It is interesting to see you flying on SW, and your praise for their systems. I remember when I was flying a lot I stopped flying SW even though I also thought they were well run, staffed by pleasant people and almost always punctual. However on business I was nearly always running late getting to the airport, and if I was going to stay overnight then I had a carry on bag. Arriving late at SW meant being the last to board and fighting for a place to sit and a place to stow my bag. So, even though I thought them an excellent airline I really had to go to someone who catered better for me. I guess I was the type of passenger who would make them run late so they were likely happy I went elsewhere anyway. Just interested in how well you manage your time that you are able to get there so early :) regards Guy Hi,
