Seats are as comfortable as they get for economy class seating. Seats are assigned by boarding number you receive by checking in on-line. If you read the Southwest website, it clearly states there is no in-flight entertainment so don't expect any. SW is experimenting with in-flight WIFI on select flights. Southwest typically has the best air fares between regional cities. You can also cancel or change a SW flight without penalty or receive credit for airfare to be used with in one year. SW doesn't charge extra for checked luggage unless its over weight or more than 2 checked bags. Book early and check back later for reduced airfares.

I realize that this is a low cost carrier and not to expect much from them, but still. While the airplane was clean and looked nice, the seats weren't the most comfortable out there, and they certainly wouldn't win any awards for in flight entertainment. So, for a short flight, they're really not that bad; however I would not want to fly them for any significant length of time.
