i just usually fly southwest since it's not hard to set a reminder to hit the button to check in EXACTLY at T+1s after the 24 hour window opens, usually get ~A20-25 or so, worst case for full flights early Bs. still usually enough to get a emergency exit row but on southwest they have enough legroom by default that i'm usually not hugely uncomfortable, much unlike frontier (POS-est airline ever)

We flew to LA on Southwest and it was really great. They are one of the few airlines that still has preboarding for families- before A and B seating. Also nice to have all our bags checked. They also told us to take a picture of the baby in the cockpit after the flight was done.

on United and American (the only two I've flown recently) they ask for people with lap-riding infants to board early but not "families"

probably not as crucial on delta because everyone has assigned seats anyway, on southwest the "families go early" is so they can get seats together i bet

Many airlines will not allow changing of seat assignments so that kids and parents can sit together. This happens mostly on Frontier and United. Thanks jerks- I wanted to sit down next to a 7 year old.

so just don't tell the flight attendant? are you flying on an airline where they actually check the numbers as you're sitting down?

the claimed reason for this is antiterrorism stuff, but the real reason is to figure out who dead if the plane crashes. but gently caress that who cares

French riot police react as straw is blown at them from a straw spreader machine as they guard the entrance to a Carrefour hypermarket, in Le Mans, northwestern France, on January 27, 2016, during a demonstration of farmers against falling prices of dairy and meat products. Farmers unions are demanding distributors and major food companies pay more for produce and livestock.
