if you purchase EBCI, especially on release date, I really don’t see you being separated on your flight. Are you a party of 3 or 4? If you can be real unto 2 groups of 2 if necessary yourchsnces are even greater of being seated together.We are going to book SW for our flight from MCO to LAS later this year. My preference is to book with an airline that allows us to seat select (kids 13 & 10 won't like sitting next to a stranger) however the alternatives aren't great - longer and significantly more expensive with connections or direct with super budget airlines with bad departure times. I'm going to book on the release date and purchase EBCI. I have also checked inbound flights in the weeks before we will be travelling, and if booked through SW it wasn't common for the flights from the inbound origin to route through MCO to our destination, so doubt there will be many people staying on the plane. I've also started prepping the kids for the just in case scenario, so comfortable that we can manage if for some reason we aren't able to sit with the kids.
Apart from the concern around seating, I'm looking forward to travelling with SW!
We have flown with SW on over 50 flights and only once were almost seated separately and that was when we did not purchase EBCI.
