@SouthwestAir has really figured out this whole assigned seating thing. 42 people on the flight and we are all jammed into 7 rows. And they won’t let us move. And we were not given an option for a different seat at booking. Good call to switch to this system!
Heavy snow, freezing rain & cold temps are expected across many states this weekend, which could cause damage and widespread power outages. While forecasts may continue to shift, now is the time to prepare. Know what to do if you get a winter storm watch or warning in your area.
@RoscoKalis@temprlflux@KLM Yep, it's disgusting. And really all that had to do was heat treat the plane a few times for a couple weeks, which shows how negligent this is.
@bassamus@LauraLoomer I'm American. I'm also a Luso-Descendent. The difference between Spain and Portugal is like the difference between Italy and France. They're two different languages, cultures, and ethnicities. It's not that hard. You just have to try to not be ignorant.
