Southwest Airlines new extra seat policy update: "Common sense" blasted aside as bureaucrats tell plus-sized flyers they can't have a second seat for free.
Just read that Southwest Airlines has the nerve to change their extra seat policy so now passengers have to pay for a second spot even if they don't fit in one seat. Where's the common sense? Earlier, they'd give a free seat to someone who needed it, which was decent and practical for everyone. Now, it's all about squeezing more cash out of people. My neighbor, a plus-sized guy, used that policy to travel comfortably without hassle. Now he's stuck paying double or cramming in, causing discomfort for everyone. This isn't progress—it's a money grab that ignores basic decency. Is there any airline left that puts people before profits?
