It’s been pretty common knowledge by big people who fly frequently.

Southwest won’t honor it if you aren’t spilling into a second seat. They revoked it from my coworkers wife.

Hasn’t this been the policy for a long time? Nothing has changed. It just randomly went viral (again) this week.

I had a coworker who did it over a decade ago. It’s not new at all.
