Preboarding an Airplane

I wanted to share that if you go to the gate, you can have your plane ticket updated to preboarding for free. This is helpful if you have morning sickness or frequent urination. They did it to my ticket and I feel really relieved that I will be near the bathroom now.

    I was wondering about that. I'll be flying in March or April and it would definitely be helpful to make sure I can get an aisle seat near the bathroom!

    Do airlines not assign seats anymore? I fly quite frequently and have always been assigned a seat (Air Canada, West Jet, and Porter). Preboarding here is you get to board the plane first and find your assigned seat, it's for people in the exit rows, travelling with children or pets, elderly, pregnant women, and anyone else who may need some extra time to find their seat/store their belongings.

    Some do, some don't- Southwest in particular doesn't do assigned seats. You have to try and get in one of the earlier boarding groups or you are screwed and stuck in a middle seat somewhere.

    And ya know...Southwest isn't even much cheaper than the other airlines anymore! The only reason we ever use Southwest is when my stepson is flying back and forth as their Unaccompanied Minor program is the best that we've used. Otherwise I never fly with them. Their prices aren't that great, and the seating, in general, sucks.
