Southwest Airlines’ plus size traveler policy is going viral.
Plus-Size Travelers Can Get the Empty Adjacent Seats on Southwest Airlines
People are divided over Southwest Airlines plus size traveler policy, which lets plus size passengers get empty adjacent seats for free as available.
The company’s website reads that those “who encroach upon any part of the neighboring seat(s)” can book more seats next to them before traveling. Customers will then be refunded the cost of the extra seats.”
While many have praised Southwest for making flying “fair” for all shapes and sizes, industry experts say this policy could lead to a loss of revenue for the company.
While TikTokkers are sharing their experiences with Southwest’s policy, it’s been around for years. Plus-size passengers are also allowed to pre-board.
