I love SWA, 'cause I typically buy a ticket in the Preferred Boarding/Pre-Screen category. That way, I will always select my window seat, Starboard-Side, at least SIX ROWS FORWARD of the engine. No wing(s) will obstruct my view, so it's like my own body is doing the flying itself, and there is NEVER a dull moment, with what's rolling by underfoot. Who needs a movie; a loquacious seat-mate who doesn't know what they're talking about half the time; a hostile seat-mate who's trying to force you to draw the shade or turn off your own reading light; or, trying to read, anyhow?? I've picked out many landmarks in this wonderful nation, and seeing a horizon stretching perhaps 400 miles to its end, and pondering the meteorological forces at work, as we cleave through the many layers of clouds. The bulkhead seat's the best, especially if I have something to prop my feet up upon. Flying at night, with a full moon, I wish that they WOULD black out the cabin, entirely. Sigh, oh well.
Most likely, yes. Theres only a few -800's in existence with out them. Its mainly for fuel efficiency and airlines are after those few pennies saved on fuel.

Living Down Under in New Zealand and having never flown to the USA, I do enjoy these wonderful flights and seeing the great aerial views! Many thanks.
Glad you are enjoying! Many, many more are coming in the mear future!
Beautiful views, the southwest US provides some amazing scenery! Who needs IFE?!
Amen to that!
Flying on Southwest Airlines doesn’t needs IFE because of the beautiful view from the window when flying on the west side of the country
