As someone who worked in aviation this happens all the time cause of the crappy booking systems airlines use. If this was a red flag then holy shit we are in trouble.
Southwest also has no assigned seats, just priority boarding. Makes it even worse for these situations.
Yep, those that dont know, you are not assigned a seat, you are assigned a boarding group, thats determined by how quickly you log in and get your ticket like the day before the flight. Faster you do it, the higher your boarding group. Also the sooner you do it, the higher your boarding group.
So they'll do like, IIRC, business passengers and people with disabilities/injuries (like broken legs on crutches/wheelchair stuff) first, then group A, then Group B, etc.
Group A is preem boarding, choom. HIgh chance of sitting in the front row with all the leg room, and if not that..at least in one of the first couple rows so you can GTFO the plan fast when it lands.
Haha I made some code in that thing!
It's built by a company called Sabre
