Not sure which parenting section to post this in, so I'll put it in all three.


I was just told my a friend of mine that Southwest Airlines has changed their pre-board policy. Now, instead of being able to board before the non-"preboard" passengers, people travelling with young children will board after the "A" group. So, even if you get an "A" boarding pass, because people start lining up so darn early for these flights, you will have to stand in line for a LONG time with your kids. Be prepared. We are flying for the first time with our 1 year old and our 3 1/2 year old. I didn't think that we were really going to have issues until I heard this. Now I'm scared...I think the one year old is going to FREAK!
