  1. Aloha; Been visiting Hawaii since the 70’s. Never had a problem sitting with my 4 children and my wife on a flight with my preferred legacy airline. Even when seats together aren’t available when I purchase tickets, it has worked out. In the rare case when the computer can’t put us together, the gate agent has provided us with seats together before we board. SWA seems to have a lot of problems that they need to solve. Spending a little money to get an automated seat selection option is a good place to start. Aloha

  2. Try any flight to Florida. Tons of wheelchair preboards and if you are not in the A boarding group, plan on a middle seat because young kids love the window seats. I often pay extra to get in the A 1-15 group when I see lots of kids. Hate to say this but with most airlines, preboards have gone overboard 🙁
