It was at this point that I was thankful for choosing a seat on this side of the airplane at the last minute – because before boarding, I had intended to grab an A window seat instead. Once airborne, those of us seated on the left side of the airplane were treated to awesome views of LAS and the Las Vegas strip. Departure from LAS runway 25R with a great view of the Southwest Airlines terminal Flying right over top of runways 19R and 19L as we rocket out of LAS We spent about 15 minutes waiting our turn in line, but I’m assuming they padded that into the schedule because the pilot kept saying we’d arrive into SAN right on time. Hey – this is Vegas after all, with the two busiest times of the week undoubtedly being Friday nights for arrivals and Sunday afternoons for departures. We had to wait quite a bit once we taxied out to 24R, as there were many departing flights ahead of us in the queue. Legroom in the front row (bulkhead) on this Southwest Airlines 737-700 View of another Southwest Airlines 737-700 from seat 1D as we wait to push back on WN539 to SAN If you can live with those two restrictions, it’s one of the best seats on the airplane. The only downsides were that ALL carry-ons had to go in the overhead bins (which were pretty full by the time we boarded) and there were no tray tables. This was a pretty good seat overall, with lots of legroom because of the fact that it’s a bulkhead. Once onboard, I immediately noticed that seat 1D was open, and I took it without hesitation. Yes, we were the very last two to board in the first group, but there would still be two full groups behind us. We had pretty decent boarding positions for this flight (A59 and A60) which left me feeling confident that I’d get a good window seat. Since this gate was one of the busy ones, we didn’t show up until a few minutes before they started boarding, opting instead for the peace and quiet of an unused gate on the other side of the terminal. Interestingly enough, our flight to SAN would be departing out of the same gate that we had just flew into from RNO (C14). Seat: 1D Southwest Airlines 737-700 N943WN It was still crazy busy at certain gates, but the good news was that it wasn’t difficult to find empty gate space for some relative peace and quiet while we waited for our flight. The massive crowds that we encountered upon entering the terminal at LAS had cleared out a bit by the time we were ready to board our connecting flight to SAN.
