Dansil -- we fly WN (affectionately known in this household as SouthWorst) lots! We can't stand our "hometown" airline -- AmericaWorst!

The key to flying WN is to get there early -- the gate agents usually appear 1 hour prior to flight time. Get an early card (1-30) and be there when the plane arrives to queue up in the cattlecar line...

The problem is that there are ALWAYS people with boarding cards numbered 91-120 standing right smack square in the middle of the aisle, immediately behind the red velvet rope. Inevitably, these idiots have six house sized carry-ons. No amount of kind words (and sometimes not-so-kind words) can get them to get with the program and get the begeebees out of the way.

Orderly, yes -- if you're in the first boarding group. After that, a free-for-all for overhead space, seats, etc...
