I have checked in exactly 24hrs prior to my flight and got B 12. It's very hard to get A. I travel with my partner all the time and he is always A1 - A15. We asked them if I can go in with him but they denied it. So he has to go in and hassle people to not sit next to him and save me a seat and space above his head for my carry on which is sometimes hard to do. \n\nIt would have been so much easier if they would allow A-list flyers to bring their companion with them. United let's us board the plane together so we will switch airlines. \n\nSorry Southwest... Get better customer service and we will gladly switch. Did I mention we fly almost every week for a business!
