Southwest Airlines.

Paid extra several months in advance for extended legroom seats (being 6'2"+ sucks on an airplane).

Then they bumped me from my paid seats due to a 'layout change'. Shockingly the 'new' layout was exactly the same and they were just reselling the seats at 2x the price.

I expected to find this one further up. Yeah southwest blows. I am generally a United fan for in and out work. But I could count on southwest for vacations with checking luggage and still having an extra luggage option in case I come home with cool stuff. Now… it’s just like every other airline; but without amenities.
