The first Southwest flights with assigned seating launch next year. Here's when

Southwest Airlines, one of the largest carriers at Bay Area airports, has finally set a date for when its new assigned seating policy will take effect. The Dallas-based carrier will begin assigning seating on flights departing Jan. 27, 2026, company executives said Monday. Starting July 29, customers can begin selecting seats for next year's flights when they are booking, officials said. Southwest is the largest carrier at Oakland International Airport and San Jose Mineta International Airport, accounting for 83% of total passenger volume and more than 50% of passenger volume respectively, according to a Chronicle report last year. It is the fifth-largest carrier at San Francisco International Airport, with a 5% passenger share, the Chronicle reported. 'Our Customers want more choice and greater control over their travel experience,' said Tony Roach, Southwest's executive vice president of customer and brand in a statement. 'Assigned seating unlocks new opportunities for our customers — including the ability to select extra legroom seats — and removes the uncertainty of not knowing where they will sit in the cabin.' Customers will be able to choose from a variety of fare bundles, some of which will offer them a chance to select a seat at the time of booking, in addition to access to three different seat types: extra legroom, preferred and standard, officials said. Cardholders of the airline's Rapid Rewards Credit Card will be able to select a seat at booking or within 48 hours of departure, depending on which card they have, officials said. A-list and A-list preferred customers will be able to select a seat at booking regardless of the fare they purchase, the company said. Under the current open-seating process, Southwest passengers must check in for their flights 24 hours before departure to be assigned a specific number in either the A, B or C boarding group. Passengers can pay extra, about $30, to skip to the front of the A line, the Chronicle reported. The new boarding process will place customers into groups based on their seat location, with extra legroom passengers boarding in groups one and two, officials said. People who purchased premium fares, along with tier members and credit cardmembers will also board earlier in the process, officials said. Choice and basic fare holders will board last unless they purchase priority boarding, which will be available 24 hours prior to departure, officials said. The change marks the first time in its more than 50-year history that Southwest will offer assigned seating to its customers. The transition was announced last year as the airline eyes more revenue and after 80 percent of surveyed customers said they preferred assigned seating to the current policy. Assigned seating is one of a few changes Southwest is making to its flights to increase profits. The carrier eliminated its longstanding free checked baggage policy for passengers, now charging for the service, in alignment with other major carriers and began operating overnight flights earlier this year.

Avalara confidentially files for U.S. IPO, eyes return to public markets

Tax software company Avalara, which went private in 2022, disclosed on Monday it had confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering, indicating plans to go public again amid growing investor optimism for IPOs. The terms of the offering were not disclosed. U.S. IPO activity, sluggish at the start of the year, is gaining momentum following robust investor demand for new offerings. Avalara went public in June 2018 but was taken private in 2022, when it was acquired by private equity firm Vista Equity Partners in a deal that valued the company at $8.4 billion, including debt. The filing underscores the broadening of the U.S. IPO market — from originally venture capital-backed deals focused on growth to private equity-backed offerings where the IPO acts as a catalyst for capital structure changes, said IPOX CEO Josef Schuster. In April, tax firm Andersen had also filed confidentially for a U.S. listing. Founded in 2004, Avalara runs a cloud-based software platform that helps companies with tax compliance. The Seattle-based company counts Adidas, Crocs CROX.O and Reebok among its customers. Companies often file for IPOs confidentially to keep details about their financial and strategic plans private, while engaging with regulators and potential investors.
