On a bright note, Southwest has been there for me countless times. Including times when I had made quite an error… as in booked a flight for a week later than I had anticipated and showed up at the airport bags in hand. They got me on the flight I thought I had bought tickets for- free of charge!
I know it can be hard to be negative sometimes.

But from the 16th to the 20th?? You would have been stranded in NYC for four nights! Thank you for the cautionary tale. Any suggestion?

To offer a comparison, most airlines' economy class seats have 30 inches of seat pitch. Spirit Airlines standard seats have tiny tray tables — you wouldn't be able to fit a laptop on them. However, Spirit's Big Front Seats guarantee an additional six inches of legroom.
