I've travelled a lot, but hadn't ever flown Southwest until about a month ago. I was kind of amazed at the organization.
Other airlines: Assigned seats, so there's ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to get on the plane early, yet everyone crowds the gate when they announce the preboarding for people with kids. I've literally had to push through people who have a boarding number of like 4 or 5 so I could board with the other 2s. And WTF would you want to sit down early? So your carry-on gets a premiere spot in the overhead bin? If I'm sitting around for 2-3 or 10 hours, I have no desire to add 20 minutes to it.
Southwest: It does matter when you board, so they line you up in order and there's no crowding and no hassle. If you don't get there in time, there's no fighting through a crowd... just get in line. Love it.
