    “In these tradition seats you’ll loose an inch of leg room to make more room for the higher priced seats.” Translation: We made the already uncomfortable seats more uncomfortable for you mere peasants.

      I am of average heigth so the leg room is not a problem with me. It is the terrible seat design with lack of any cushioning. The toilet in the restroom is the most comfortable seat on a Southwest plane.

      Did you bother to watch the video, or just come to complain? SOME seats lose an 1" of legroom to make room for other seats that get more legroom. 1/3rd of the seats have more legroom, up to 5 inches more.

I saw an article that the US government may shut them down with all the recent discrepancies. Spirit Air is much better.

    If you buy the basic fare (want to get away) you will not know what your seat is until 24 hours before. You don't get to pick your seat during the purchase. It could be a middle seat or a seat you don't like, and you can't change it. It will not be with family or friends either. For all the people that complain about no assign seating this is way worse. Good job clowns.

      The open seating system was being grossly abused. 15-20 wheelchairs taking advantage of early boarding. Most of these same wheelchair bound folks got up and walked off the plane with no issues. And then you had the folks who bought early boarding for one person and then reserved three rows for the rest of the group that got on later.
      In a way I am glad these abuses are going away with this new system

Not to mention the extra weight that adds to the aircraft which means more fuel used and more money out of consumers pockets to cover it. I would take extra legroom and a more comfortable seat over IFE any day.

Then let passengers with overhead luggage go next… Sometimes I have a connecting flight that I have to haul as to get to.

    Our President/ secretary of transportation need to mandate first class seating front to back on all airlines. Loading from back to front. All checked luggage, (with tracking), free. No carry on suitcases. Actual food and drinks on flights, (like the 80's). No alcohol on planes or in airports. Price it all accordingly, flying isn't for everyone. No free ride for kids. There are far too many people flying now, and they are nasty, rude and miserable because they are treated like cattle.
