Julie Padilla+FollowSouthwest’s New Plus-Size Seat Rule Is HereSouthwest Airlines is finally switching to assigned seats, but that’s not all—they’re rolling out a new policy for plus-size passengers starting Jan 27. If you can’t fit in a coach seat with both armrests down, you’ll need to buy a second seat or upgrade to first class. No set weight limit, just whether you fit in the seat. If you buy an extra seat and the flight isn’t full, you might get a refund. Fair or embarrassing? Would this change your travel plans? #News #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews135Share
