CEO of Southwest Airlines Reveals His Favorite Seat On A Plane
When customers purchase flights, they sometimes get to pick their own seats, although some are assigned randomly depending on the airline and the flight.
Some like the window because of the view, while others enjoy the aisle seat because they can get up freely without having to disturb others in their row.
Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan was asked where his favorite place was to sit on a plane, and he gave his answer in an exclusive interview with Jordyn Holman of The New York Times.
"Window. But for business, I sit in the aisle because I like to get up, talk to the flight attendants. I serve snacks. I pick up trash. Then I go sit in the cockpit and talk to our pilots. I don’t want to be crawling over people, so I tend to sit on the aisle so I can get out and do stuff," Jordan said.
He also mentioned he likes to wear a vest or polo so he can help the crew on the flight, which is a neat gesture for the CEO.
A 2024 survey also showed that window seats are most common among fliers, and exit row seats are also a preference due to the extra room.
As for Jordan, he enjoys the window, showing he is just like other frequent travelers.
Southwest Airlines is currently undergoing some changes, and Jordan mentioned previously that more would be in store soon.
