Can anyone identify as needing more space? The article doesn’t mention an objective measure by which it can be determined whether someone actually needs one additional space.

Yeah, that is going to go over well when they split up a family. Better give the ticket agents a taser cause they are going to need it.

Nothing is free. We're either going to pay by SWA raising ticket prices or having to sit next to these people, or both.
Just as long as they don’t pass wind.

I would like to bet a certain culture will abuse this.

Good to know, I wont be flying SWA.
Also their new boarding policy is trash. First 50 fake disabled folks get on first, then A list Preferred then A list…no thanks

Where is the empty seat going to come from? I do everything I can to keep from flying but I wind up doing it pretty regularly and I haven't been on a plane in years that wasn't full or nearly so except in rare instances.
I would PAY for two seats to keep the seat next to me empty but the frickers would just put a standby passenger in the damned thing. Airlines are the debil....

imagine being so fat you have to sit and wait at the airport for a plane with an extra open seat

So what happens if I just think of myself as fat but not made the transition yet; that should count.
You will need to identify as “fat adjacent”

Good PR and policy, but doesn't make up for no free checked bags.
