Southwest Airlines will begin ending cabin service earlier on flights starting December 4, preparing for landing at 18,000 feet instead of 10,000 feet to reduce turbulence-related injuries. This change aims to enhance safety for both crew and passengers, as turbulence accounts for a significant portion of in-flight injuries. Additionally, Southwest plans to end its open seating policy next year.
