No, Southwest Airlines does not provide assigned seating on its flights. Instead of the traditional Southwest Airlines assigned seating system, the airline follows an open seating policy.
This means that when you board the aircraft, you can choose any available seat. Boarding order is achieved by boarding group and position. Boarding groups are either determined by a time of check-in or a type of fare purchased. Three types of boarding groups exist: A, B, and C, numbering from 1 to 60 in each group.
With early bird check-in, you have more choices as far as seating is concerned. It automatically checks you in earlier than other passengers and may improve your boarding position. For the best boarding options, Business Select fares offer priority boarding, allowing you to board in the A1-A15 range.
