News Summary

  • Southwest Airlines recently announced changes to its long-standing refund system for plus-size travelers who purchase an additional seat.
  • The revised policy requires that both seats be purchased in the same fare class, that at least one seat remains empty on the flight, and that refund requests are submitted within 90 days.
  • Advocates argue that tighter restrictions risk discouraging travel for people who already face significant challenges when flying.
  • American and Delta both require travelers to purchase extra seats at the time of booking to secure consistent pricing.
  • United suggests booking premium cabins or additional seats in advance.
