Southwest Airlines has found another thing to charge you for: this time, for early boarding.

Southwest doesn't assign seats, so passengers board in three groups. The perk for joining their loyalty program -- first selection of seats -- is now yours for 40 dollars.

Passengers can pay at the gate, starting forty-five minutes before a flight leaves.
