Oh I get what you are saying. But maybe you're the person who is mad that Southwest won't give you your peanuts either because they accommodated my daughter's allergy? I'm not trying to be rude I can't convey tone, I'm sincerely asking. Or maybe you are the family who is SUPER MAD that my family got to pre-board because we were traveling with an allergic toddler and autism spectrum teenager and between wiping down seats and installing the FAA approved child seat and dealing with separation anxiety if the teen wasn't allowed to go with us (as is policy only 1 person can go with the eligible pre-boader), which I had to note on our reservations and check in twice and speak to various staff members etc about because yes you can bet I do my planning to keep my family safe, get the special boarding pass, get the special allergy statement, tag the stroller, tag the car seat, identify the whole family ahead of time at the desk and at the gate and at the door to the plane.....we chose to fly Southwest not because of the price. American actually had cheaper prices in my area for our last vacation. But many airlines won't even address allergic or special needs so that is why we flew them. And, the staff were pretty accommodating. I don't "deserve" a vacation less than anyone and someone speculating as a bystander to my situation doesn't have the right to judge me. Man you should have seen the looks on the families with EBC standing at the front of A. Pissed off wouldn't even do it justice. I'm not sure we will fly Southwest again I am thinking to try JetBlue next time where I will get the even more seats. Someone else's situation may LOOK like lack of planning to you and that may not be the case. Hence, we go back to "be a decent person 101" So after all that, my two older kids move from our preboarded seats so a mom could sit with her daughter because she caught the beginning of B boarding. I guess I should've told her to buck up the EBC fee.
