Welcome To The Red-Eye: Southwest Schedules Its 1st Ever Overnight Flights

Mark the date: July 25, 2024. This was when Southwest revealed the end of ‘open’ seating in exchange for assigned seating. The considerable change, to be operational next year, is all about attracting more passengers and benefiting from their additional revenue. Like other carriers, it will also generate extra revenue by enabling passengers to pick particular seats and extra legroom options. Elsewhere, its first overnight flights have been loaded.
