I know some people love SW, but I'm not a fan.

12/19/14 9:49am

Completely agree. Only did SW this once so I could change flights as needed,

No assigned seats is the fastest way to board a plane funny enough

Yeah I fly SW every week. Getting out a half hour late is pretty standard.

The speed of boarding isn't important. What's important is that those who travel

On SWA you can always pay for the right to be one of the first 30 or so to board

The fastest way would be to assign seats and then board from the rear forward

Boarding from the rear forward isn't the fastest method.

No, I think you're wrong. I am seeing it with my own eyes.
