Leg room for sale

Hubby has often made fun of the Southwest Airlines upgrade to board first. I found the perk that $25 will get you aside from the option to change flights (which we did to a nonstop and saved $11)- LEG ROOM. It is almost like first class if you overlook having to share an arm rest.
Granted sitting in the exit row won't work when flying with kids and if you were boarding a connecting flight you might be SOL, but today it works and $25 isn't a bad trade off on Southwest where they don't charge $50 for luggage.
