I truly hate the "oooh $79 round trip ticket, but there is a fee for the seat, and another for the seatbelt, etc etc " and the next thing you know, that $79 Frontier ticket costs more than United. I admit I haven't looked much at pricing for Southwest as I have tended to avoid them based on the seating policy. But, I will check them out next flight.
I am sometimes on a short schedule and arrive at the gate near the end of boarding. At those times, I like the ability to select my seat when I purchase a ticket.
