Southwest Airlines returns to pre-pandemic boarding policy
Fox News
During the pandemic, the airline (which does not assign seats) utilized a boarding system where passengers would board in smaller groups of 10. Last week, however, the carrier resumed its pre-pandemic policy.
The airline confirmed to Fox News that while it has adjusted its boarding policies, it is still following other pandemic-era practices, such as reminding passengers to social distance when possible, and adhering to the federal mask mandate. "Southwest is operating with our traditional boarding process," Southwest Airlines spokesperson Dan Landson said in a statement provided to Fox News. "Many Customers are familiar with Southwest’s standard boarding style, and the expectation for the normal boarding process was becoming increasingly important as additional Customers return to travel with us. The change took effect on March 15."More Related News
