I'm flying Southwest Airlines from CMH - TPA next week and I'd like some tips?
I'm flying flight 448 from Port-Columbus Airport to Tampa International next Tuesday the 30th. I check the weather periodically, well. At least, twice a day. I'm a FREAK when it comes to things running smoothly. Keep in mind, I'm 13. I think I'm going to have high blood pressure when I grow up. Anyways, back to my story. The weather in Columbus, says partly cloudy. Either that, or just cloudy. It keeps jumping back & forth, and it looks like that's the weather that's going to stay. I'm very worried, for some odd reason, my flight will be cancelled? Even though rain is not in the main forecast. Link: http://www.accuweather.com/us/oh/columbus/43085/forecast-month.asp It's just really bothering me. I want everything to go smoothly, I'd be highly disappointed if our flight was cancelled. There are in fact 2 flights after mine though.. I've never flown Southwest Airlines. I've read that they cancel flights a lot more than other airlines. Also - the open seating boarding process.. I don't know where I want to sit, but I want to know ahead of time, thanks to seatexpert.com. I want to sit on the LEFT side. If you are facing the bulkhead. I want the very last seat, I don't even care about all the disadvantages, (smell, non-recline, traffic etc..) I just like the back seat for some reason. But I don't know. This happens so much before I fly. All & all, does anyone have any feedback or tips for me? It'd be really nice to hear someone's advice. Thanks so much, Connor.

You're flight won't be canceled due to weather. It is spring, and weather flight cancellations aren't typical. Don't worry. Make sure you are at the computer exactly 24 hours before departure time to ensure that you get "A" boarding, meaning you will be among the first 50 people to board. There, you have almost a 100% chance of getting the seat you want. I've flown Southwest a lot, and I have never really had a problem. Have a great trip! P.S: I'm flying Southwest next week too

You'll be fine. I have flown in hail, rain, 14 inches of snow, lightning, old Russian aircraft. The boarding process is a mess though. Make sure to check in online so you get a good number (A or above) in the boarding process.
