Disney4me Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Southwest Airlines has had a lot of changes lately, from updating its free bag policies to planning to remove open seating, but we finally have some positive news for the airline. Southwest If you fly with Southwest, you’ll want to read this new update. Southwest Airlines will retrofit its aircraft to accommodate extra-legroom seats! This change will affect every plane between April 30th and the end of the year as they prepare for assigned seating, which is scheduled to start in early 2026. ©Southwest Airlines They have maintenance bases in Denver, Phoenix, Houston, and Atlanta, where they will change the seating for the aircraft planned to enter service on May 1st. ©Southwest Airlines What’s neat about this change is that they just need to change the current planes. They don’t have to redesign the cabins or buy new aircraft; they can simply rearrange the rows to how they want. This is the start of a phased approach to change their entire fleet. They’re starting with the -800 and MAX 8 aircraft before moving on to the 737-700 aircraft. ©Southwest Airlines Late this summer, the extra-legroom seats will have a visual indicator on them, so keep your eyes peeled if you’re flying with Southwest. Right now, they’re planning on having three tiers of seating: an Extra Legroom seat, a Preferred seat, which will be located near the front of the cabin or in exit rows, and a Standard seat for the seats in the back of the cabin. ©Southwest Airlines We’ve been staying up to date on all the news for Southwest, so keep following Disney Food Blog to know everything that could affect your travel plans.
