Ahhhh, thank you @menloparkmom. :)>-
@SouthFloridaMom9 , just what menloparkmom said, but I think sone airplanes have one on each side, others just have it on one side. But no seat in front of it makes for a lot of leg room!
^^ But those seats have no tray table. Something to consider if you need to eat or drink during the flight.
Don’t they have a tray that pulls up out of the armrest?
My experience has been hit or miss. I was actually in that seat a few weeks ago and it didn’t have one.
I get why this is a big deal on Southwest, but on old-style mainline airlines, why in the world would paper or phone make a difference? Either way you can lose it or otherwise have problems (I’ve had phone passes suddenly become unreachable, and both phone and paper passes refuse to scan)—it’s not like anything’s foolproof, you know? But if your seat is assigned, your seat is assigned.
@SouthFloridaMom9 - be careful about splurging for earlier boarding on SW. If your flight came from somewhere else that day, it’s likely that there are a handful of people on there already who are going to switch seats before anyone new comes on.
That’s a good point @greenwitch. The first time I did it I felt like I was getting away with something. 
The next time or two I noticed that it didn’t help me all that much.
Yep…and even with our paper boarding passes…we would have missed our flight if the nice Southwest Agent hadn’t walked us to the priority boarding line…right to where you enter TSA. We got to the airport plenty early…but the line was taking over 45 minutes to move people through at 5:15 a.m. which is the busiest departure time of the day.
It didn’t help that there were only three X-ray machines open…for eight security lines. Honestly…we made our boarding by less than five minutes…and tons of people were being paged…and likely were in the line waiting. And likely missed their flights altogether.
This was Thursday…and Friday was exactly the same.
Guess TSA doesn’t add folks even when the airlines add flights.
“Don’t they have a tray that pulls up out of the armrest?”
There has been on every one of those seats I’ve been in, however, I certainly haven’t been on every one in Southwest’s fleet.
