still got some very good fares to certain big cities.

Let me ask you a question because last month when we flew SW, we met a guy in line who was having a conniption fit with us over position in line.

I have flown SW quite a bit, and I always thought that you were supposed to get in line based on your number. So, think we were like B30 and B31. Went to the section marked B30-B35 and there was one guy there. We got in front of him because we had the first two numbers. He had a hissy fit. He said that he was first because he was standing in the section first. I told him our numbers and he said it didn't matter what order you were in within a section.

I know this sounds petty...but your position could be the difference between having to split up on the flight or not...and we just stayed where we were since it was a 4 hour flight. But had to laugh because just as they called us to board, he literally broke out of line and ran in front of us to the check in person. My husband told the check in guy "What an asshole." and amazingly he said, "I know he is a royal asshole" guess he must have flown a lot.
