Why I Hate Southwest Airlines
Sorry this vlog is so long but I wanted to tell the world what happened to me on a Southwest flight and how it impacted my life and not for the better.
So sorry that you experienced the rudeness of the crew. That's inexcusable. The check in desk should have flagged you and asked you to buy a second ticket to avoid that. Obviously the check in person didn't know the policy. I don't know why they said you were a "danger" to other passengers. However, I do know that their policy is that larger people must buy two seats for the comfort of others. - Sadly, I can tell you that as a "little guy" I was squished between 2 very, very large businessmen from Baltimore to San Francisco (a 5 hour flight) and I had to sit SIDEWAYS, which hurt my back. I couldn't drink anything because they refused to budge, and couldn't move. It was the worst flight I've ever experienced. Of course it was sold out, and I was stuck. - So, while I think that the SW people on your flight were rude and nasty, I honestly can appreciate their policy of larger people purchasing two seats. Why? Because as a little guy, I paid the same price for the ticket, while the 2 guys beside me were comfortable and even SLEPT, while I was in physical discomfort for 5 hours and miserable.That was not on Southwest, btw, I believe it was United Airlines.
