American low-cost carrierSouthwest Airlinesis known for its first-board, first-servepolicyregarding seats.
Southwest makes an exception for passengers who use a wheelchair, giving them priority boarding like many other airlines.
Hey@SouthwestAirThese 4 young girls and their parents were able to pre-board on my flight Sunday!
They did not need assistance or extra time for seating!
Do better with your gate agents stopping this!
I paid extra for business class to get better seating!
As many disabilities arent visible, were unable to question preboarding requests.
A friend shares a not-uncommon sight from Puerto Rico: 55 handicapped during pre-boarding, including 25 wheelchairs.
On his return flight, 15 used wheelchairs to board, only 1 to deboard.
These poor souls came seeking a flight, and instead were healed.
Always grateful for witnessing the miraculous healing power of flight.

Analysts have repeatedly asked the low-cost airline about opportunities for premium seating or additional fees.
