Been there, done that ! It is basically a flying Zoo ! I flew fron Sacramento to LA, to Baltimore, Ate more dam peanuts that I ever did before, the attendants are very helpful in that area, the ones on the return flight were the "Red Skeletons" of the airline, All the humor was great.

No, you can't ask for a window seat. There are no seat assignments on Sout= hwest. You will be assigned a boarding group (usually A, B, or C) normally= based on when you checked in (the first people to check in get A, then aft= er so many they go to B, etc). First they will ask group A to board, then = B, then C. When you get on board you pick whatever seat you want, assuming= nobody else is already sitting there. In flight service will consist of your choice of beverage and peanuts or pr= etzels. There is no inflight audio system. --=20 David Mueller / MRY dmueller7@xxxxxxxxx http://www.quanterium.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Panitz <mpanitz@xxxxxxxx> To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: flying southwest airlines first time ( in November )what can I exp= ect?
