Southwest Unveils New, Wider Seats

You might find a little more legroom on Southwest Airlines flights by the end of the year. The carrier has announced that it's installing what the company calls the "widest economy 737 seat" available on 28 of its 737-800 planes as part of a redesign of cabin interiors. Upholstered in blue composition leather, the slimline seats feature adjustable headrests and reconfigured seat-back pockets, too. This is the latest step in Southwest's ongoing brand refresh, which has included the introduction of a new logo and new staff uniforms as well.
