I fly on Southwest a fair amount and anyone who does that understands the first in / first pick seating. How will a gate screening work on a WN flight? Will they hold up the whole boarding process? Is the passenger just screwed? Will they let the passenger go aboard and claim his seat prior to the screening?
I haven't had to confront gate screening on a WN flight yet but I think it would get ugly pretty fast.
Does anyone have an actual experience to share?
