Southwest Airlines just announced a new policy called "plus seating" that allows passengers to get an extra seat for free if they require additional space.
Under this policy, Southwest Airlines will provide the travelers with an adjacent seat if it is available. This extra seat will ensure that passengers have the necessary space to sit comfortably without feeling confined or restricted by the armrests. The airline believes that this initiative will greatly enhance the travel experience for those who need more space.
In addition to the extra seating, Southwest Airlines is advising passengers who require more space to book two seats on a flight. By doing so, passengers can ensure that they have adequate room to stretch out and relax during the journey. Furthermore, if there are empty seats on the plane, passengers who have booked two seats will receive a refund for the additional seat. This means that passengers can enjoy the benefits of an extra seat without worrying about the cost.
