Southwest Reverses Extra Seat Policy

Southwest Airlines is rolling back its controversial “customers of size” policy after backlash, now offering free extra seats at the gate if two adjacent seats are available — no longer forcing passengers to pre-buy a second seat. While advance purchase is still recommended for guaranteed seating, refunds for paid extra seats are now available within 90 days, and travelers may be rebooked if space isn’t found on their original flight.
