legroom

“With new choices like seat selection and Extra Legroom, our enhanced fare bundles let Customers customize their trip while still enjoying our industry-leading reliability and hospitality,” Tony Roach, Southwest’s executive vice president of consumer & brand, said in a statement.

In recent years I’ve given in to the traps of airlines — paying extra when I can to select my seat, for those two extra inches of legroom.

Southwest will also offer a new basic fare on its lowest-priced tickets starting in May, in advance of offering assigned seating and extra legroom.

Mastering Park City is like learning to juggle: The curve is steep, but you move nimbly once you know whether to wait for a shuttle or walk, where to find the best legroom at the Library Center Theatre and that the grocery-store sushi by the Holiday Village Cinemas is actually pretty good.

In an attempt to catch up, low-cost carriers are rolling out more expensive options for seats that come with perks such as early boarding and extra legroom, leaving less room on the plane for the lowest priced tickets.
