I just need to find out of the Southwest flights have any extra leg room rows, although I think somebody mentioned any of the seats on Southwest flights going to HI are roomier in general because of the plane they use and not sure if it's the same with Economy on UA? Southwest has free bag checks and free wi-fi, so that's a huge plus for a long flight. I wonder what the odds are that I could get the trip for 200,000 miles on SW when flights start showing up for July 2025 travel around November of this year?
It was mentioned that WN does not have extra legroom seats except in the exit row.
The planes that WN flies to Hawaii seem to have more legroom than other planes.
