Seat Assignments
Southwest has an open seating policy, which means there are no assigned seats, and you'll get to choose your place during boarding. The order of boarding is determined by the time of check-in, so check-in exactly 24 hours before departure or pay for priority boarding for a better choice of seat.
Example Booking
Searching Southwest's website, I found seats departing Dallas DAL on Wednesday, May 20, returning from Memphis MEM on Saturday, May 30, 2020, for $98 roundtrip.
