Southwest Airlines, Seating Policy Changes and Snack Ingredients
Southwest Airlines is reportedly considering a shift away from its signature open-seating policy toward assigned seating and boarding groups. This change comes amid complaints from flight attendants about the "ragamuffin" boarding process and pre-boarding abuses. Additionally, a review of airline snack mixes reveals they can contain up to 70 ingredients, including enriched flours and various chemical additives, far removed from simple "nuts and bolts" recipes.
