Forty dollars will get you to the front of the line at Southwest Airlines.

Southwest does not have assigned seating and passengers currently board in three groups – “A", "B" or "C". Those with special business class tickets and loyalty club members can board first. But now, anyone can get to the front of the line for a $40 fee.
