Bulkhead Seating
On our recent trip to California on
Southwest Airlines, Glindy
and I had bulkhead seats on both ends of our round-trip flight.
Compared to our previous experience of sitting in a standard seat
on
Horizon Air when we went
to Los Angeles, the bulkhead seats made a tremendous difference to
us in regards to accommodative seating, even when the row was
filled with other passengers.
While many airlines and airplane manufacturers are doing away with
bulkhead seating by converting bulkhead rows into exit rows, there
are still plenty of planes that offer bulkhead seating. Having
flown in both bulkhead and non-bulkhead seating, I can definitively
say that I will make the availability of bulkhead seating a
priority when selecting future flights, and will begin to steer
clear of airlines that cannot provide it.
