Let’s talk airline travel: What pisses you off?

Tf does this even mean?

It means traveling is already stressful and annoying af. Not having an assigned seat and not knowing if you’ll get to sit with your travel companions, along with the boarding process and overhead space adds to the stress.

Finding a seat next to who you're traveling with makes him want to pass out and cry

You’re a dork

Honestly, I think airlines should have two different flights: business and recreational.

Business folks don't want no crying babies and the matching sweatshirt family of 8 heading to Branson.

Saw today SW is changing to assigned seating with some premium seats.

I would never fly SW due to their stress inducing seating. Now I’ll look at them again.

What does everyone think about this?

I'm ok with it. The open seating was typically contingent upon you paying the extra fee to get automatically checked in so you are in the A's.

SWA used to be my reliable go-to airline but it's declined significantly in the last 10 years. I'm mostly on it for quick business flights and avoid it for personal travel.

SW used to be reliable for cheaper flights, but do not really see a reason to fly them these days.

I have never understood that. I LOVE flying SW and I don't get why the seating thing bothers people. If you're really worried about seating, just pay for the a-tier, it's not expensive and you can sit wherever you want.

Southwest is the 2nd best experience IMO behind Delta. American a distant 3rd.

I've came up with a airline ranking system after years of development, mainly flying economy for pleasure. (I'm a poor and do not often fly for business). My system is this: compare airlines to their equivalent large chain store eg. Spirit is Dollar General, Frontier is Family Dollar, United is Walmart (everyone uses it, everyone whines about it, but it has the flights you need), American is Sam's club (like United but wants to be more exclusive) Delta is Safeway, etc etc. Feel free to correct me. I used to think Southwest was like Publix, but have considered de-ranking them towards Hy-Vee or similar.

I wouldn't say I love he open seating, but I like it a lot more than the other airlines that charge you for the privilege of having a seating assignment on their "lowest" fares.

You’re a dork

I'm in full agreement with you, for what it's worth

Ah got it. I've only ever traveled SW for work.

Guy in my row on the other side is at least 500 lbs. Needed an extension belt. At that point, stay home and off anything that could tilt to uneven weights.

I was just on a flight to Orlando. There was this huge family of three, each of them probably needed two seats. I boarded after them and noticed each one sat in their own row. Fuckers
