For more than 50 years, open seating has been almost synonymous with Southwest Airlines<\/a>, but that’s all set to change in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Over the course of several hours Thursday, executives at the Dallas-based carrier walked investors through the finer details<\/a> of top-to-bottom changes aimed at boosting the company’s financial performance.<\/p>\n

For customers, those changes will play out, most notably, in the form of the airline’s first-ever assigned seats and extra-legroom rows.<\/p>\n

That seismic shift from Southwest’s half-century of open seating will also force the carrier to reimagine its boarding process \u2014 although the new procedures executives laid out Thursday do maintain an aura of familiarity with the airline’s current one-of-a-kind process.<\/p>\n
