Southwest Airlines Passenger Experiences Seat Assignment Anomaly
A Southwest Airlines passenger reported an unusual experience with the airline's seat selection system while traveling with a partner and a lap infant. The passenger noticed that whenever they attempted to change their seats on a mostly empty flight, a third seat in their row would immediately appear occupied. This led to speculation about the airline's seat assignment practices, particularly for families traveling with infants. The passenger shared their experience on Reddit, prompting discussions about possible automated systems or policies that might be influencing seat assignments.
