(1,184 posts)Fly southwest and you get to choose your seat by when you bought your ticket. If you bought your ticket months ago, you get posted close to the gate number. Once you get on the plane, you get to choose which seat you want. It is nice actually and couples usually get to go together when choosing.
As for your perdictment, I would say to the stranger if you choose that seat in the first place for comfort, tough luck and them put in your earplugs. Sounds to me they were a last minute book and they got the bottom of the bucket. If you think about it, it would of been better if she had asked the gentleman to change seats to sit next to her husband.
Lastly, are you certain they were married? Maybe the guy was trying to flirt with her..... who knows.....
