It is more civilized. F and UGS first.. Then by seating areas.. and when you do your check - in you don't have to take chances on other flights. You get what you pay for. I get Econ Plus seating with 37 inches of legroom, I get 18 inches wide seats on Airbus equipment, sometimes upgrades, international service, full meals on flights longer than 2 hrs (either complimentary or buy on board), and Channel 9 .. All that is worth the extra $$.

If he and his friend board together they'll most likely find two seats together. I've never had a problem finding three seats together on Southwest flights so two should be significantly easier. Isn't a line of people marching down the jetbridge to get on a flight the same cattle car operation no matter if it's United or Southwest? Or does the fact you're usually paying more on United make you feel more comfortable when boarding? Doesn't United board by row numbers or is it totally at your leisure? Really, how much different is it than Southwest lining people up in groups to board?
