Southwest is also one of a handful of airlines blocking middle seats to combat the spread of COVID-19 this summer. The carrier will continue to limit capacity on its flights to allow for social distancing at least through September 30. Like the rest of the industry, Southwest has also stepped up cleaning and hygiene protocols and is requiring passengers to wear face-coverings throughout their journey.
