Southwest 737-? NH to BWI

[Daisy]

I will be flying on Southwest - Manchester to BWI with several younger persons and I would like to know how the passenger seats are arranged.

From the photos I've seen the 737-700 has three seats then the aisle then three seats across. That would be perfect for me. But I don't know which 737 flies the NHT-BWI route. Do the 500 and 300 planes have fewer seats across?

Thanks.

The newer 737s have three on each side. Southwest arranges some of their cabins a bit differently however. I don't know about the older models of the 737.

All Southwest planes, -300, -500, -700, are 3 seats-aisle-3 seats. Check in early on-line to improve your chance of getting seats you want. First come, first served.

Didn't they have an arrangement for a while where you faced the person sitting across from you at SW? I seem to remember something like that but it was a while ago.

I always check before I deadhead.. And change the shitty seat the company booked to something a bit better, when possible!

I remember that, but I was like 6 when it happened....so in like the late 80's.

Yes all their planes are 3 across on each side. Some of the planes have a missing seat by the door in the exit rows, so one person will have MORE legroom.

I love Southwest and they are my preferred carrier....but check in as soon as its 23:59:59 before your flight to increase your chances of being in the "A" group.

The "Club Seating" pretty much much went away about the time the -200's were being retired, sometime in the late '90's-early 2000's.

I think it's an hour flight. Don't sweat it.

I use seat guru all the time. It can make a real difference on a long flight.

I fly this leg (BWI-MHT) often going home (parents live 20 min from MHT) and you will spend more time on the ground than in the air. They call family boarding first normally.

Just talk the gate agent, and if any of them cry, puke or kick seats, DO NOT sit near me.

How to find me?

Look for this guy, albeit with shorter hair now.

It's first come first serve on Southwest anyways soooo get there early if you want to sit together.

No, family boarding is after the As and before the Bs.

It's first come first serve on Southwest anyways soooo get there early if you want to sit together.

By then you will be the end of the C group. Check in online right at 24 hours prior to flight time.

Manchester's identifier is MHT I think.

Am I the only one who thinks that the way Southwest boards is highly inefficient?

The first people who get on always sit in the isle/window. So as the last people board they keep on walking back to hopefully find an open window/isle, but they don't. So then they walk forward looking for the smallest people to sit next to. Then that person has to get out of their seat and it just gets very confusing.

From the other airlines it seems like the try and do back to front, window to isle.

SW always seems to get people on and off the jet faster than any other airline. And their jets are on time a lot more. At least from what I've seen.
