Southwest Airlines Makes Booking Change From July 29: What To Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Southwest Airlines will be making a major change to its onboard seating at the end of July. America's fourth largest airline has confirmed it will transition to assigned seating, ending its unique open seating policy that has characterized the airline for more than five decades. Starting July 29, customers can begin booking tickets with seat assignments for flights departing January 27, 2026, and later. Southwest's open seating distinguished it from competitors, but seat selection fees and new fare options could boost the company's revenue by $800 million in 2025 and $1.7 billion in 2026. Why it Matters The seating refresh comes as the airline makes various changes, including introducing new charges for checked bags, which went into force earlier this year. The introduction of assigned and premium seating ends an era at Southwest, bringing its model more in line with other major U.S. airlines. The airline expects this shift to improve customer experience, provide seating certainty, and create new revenue streams, a move driven by evolving passenger preferences and industry trends. What To Know Passengers booking Southwest flights for January 27, 2026, onwards will be able to select their seats when they purchase tickets, with options ranging from standard to extra legroom at various price points. The airline is also moving to a new system with eight boarding groups, determined by a mix of seat location, passenger status, and other criteria. While loyal Southwest flyers and premium seat holders will board first. Here's how it breaks down: Groups 1 and 2 will be reserved for A-List Preferred Members and passengers who purchase an upgrade to extra legroom seat. Groups 3 through 8 will board based on seat location. Travelers with qualifying credit cards, including Rapid Rewards cardholders, will be guaranteed boarding in Group 5 or earlier. The airline is also reconfiguring aircraft to increase cabin comfort, including installing new seats with more cushioning and headrests.

GETTY What People Are Saying Tony Roach, executive vice president of Customer & Brand at Southwest, said: "Our customers want more choice and greater control over their travel experience. Assigned seating unlocks new opportunities for our Customers—including the ability to select Extra Legroom seats—and removes the uncertainty of not knowing where they will sit in the cabin. This is an important step in our evolution, and we're excited to pair these enhancements with our legendary Customer Service." Stephanie Shafer Modi, managing director of fares and ancillary products at Southwest, told CNBC: "We wanted to make sure that, as we designed a boarding construct that sort of paired well with assigned seating, that we were optimizing for efficiency, but also the second priority: balancing that with making sure that we're taking care of our most loyal customers, so tier members, cardholders and customers who buy our most premium products." The reaction from social media users has been varied, with some praising the move, while others have said it could have downsides. X user Ryan Smyth wrote: "As someone who loathes Southwest's current seating policy—welcome change. Open seating punishes business travels that often have to operate on tight time frames—which means I always end up in a middle seat in the back of the plane. I'll gladly pay more to avoid that nonsense." X user Patrick Daugherty wrote: "Like many, I have had a love/hate with Southwest's seating policy over the years, but it was so far ahead of its competitors when it came to making it easy to sit with your (large) family." What Happens Next Ticket bookings with assigned seats open July 29, with changes taking effect January 27, 2026. Southwest has yet to announce specific seat selection fees, which are expected to vary by route, seat type, and demand.

Southwest Airlines makes major change to decades-old open seating policy
Southwest Airlines has announced a major change coming to its current seating system. The Texas-based airline previously had a 'pick any seat' policy, allowing customers to purchase tickets in different boarding groups by selecting where they wanted to sit upon boarding the plane.

The first Southwest flights with assigned seating launch next year. Here's when
Southwest Airlines, one of the largest carriers at Bay Area airports, has finally set a date for when its new assigned seating policy will take effect. The Dallas-based carrier will begin assigning seating on flights departing Jan. 27, 2026, company executives said Monday. Starting July 29, customers can begin selecting seats for next year's flights when they are booking, officials said. Southwest is the largest carrier at Oakland International Airport and San Jose Mineta International Airport, accounting for 83% of total passenger volume and more than 50% of passenger volume respectively, according to a Chronicle report last year. It is the fifth-largest carrier at San Francisco International Airport, with a 5% passenger share, the Chronicle reported. 'Our Customers want more choice and greater control over their travel experience,' said Tony Roach, Southwest's executive vice president of customer and brand in a statement. 'Assigned seating unlocks new opportunities for our customers — including the ability to select extra legroom seats — and removes the uncertainty of not knowing where they will sit in the cabin.' Customers will be able to choose from a variety of fare bundles, some of which will offer them a chance to select a seat at the time of booking, in addition to access to three different seat types: extra legroom, preferred and standard, officials said. Cardholders of the airline's Rapid Rewards Credit Card will be able to select a seat at booking or within 48 hours of departure, depending on which card they have, officials said. A-list and A-list preferred customers will be able to select a seat at booking regardless of the fare they purchase, the company said. Under the current open-seating process, Southwest passengers must check in for their flights 24 hours before departure to be assigned a specific number in either the A, B or C boarding group. Passengers can pay extra, about $30, to skip to the front of the A line, the Chronicle reported. The new boarding process will place customers into groups based on their seat location, with extra legroom passengers boarding in groups one and two, officials said. People who purchased premium fares, along with tier members and credit cardmembers will also board earlier in the process, officials said. Choice and basic fare holders will board last unless they purchase priority boarding, which will be available 24 hours prior to departure, officials said. The change marks the first time in its more than 50-year history that Southwest will offer assigned seating to its customers. The transition was announced last year as the airline eyes more revenue and after 80 percent of surveyed customers said they preferred assigned seating to the current policy. Assigned seating is one of a few changes Southwest is making to its flights to increase profits. The carrier eliminated its longstanding free checked baggage policy for passengers, now charging for the service, in alignment with other major carriers and began operating overnight flights earlier this year.
