Would You Pay to Board Your Airplane First?

Southwest Airlines is betting that you will.

The Los Angeles Times and other media outlets are reporting that Southwest will begin charging passengers $10 for its new EarlyBird Check-in service, which will place passengers on the boarding list ahead of everyone except Business Select and Rapid Rewards' A-List customers.

Southwest's boarding system is unique; as passengers check in for flights, they are assigned to boarding categories and given priority numbers. Business Select passengers board first, followed by A-List members (frequent flyers) and then by Category A passengers - until now.

What would you do? Are you willing to pay $10 extra to board ahead of Category A passengers? Leave your answer in the comments.
