Southwest does not always let you get out of the plane during a
stopover. When we came back from our cruise, we took a flight to
Harlingen from Hobby and it had a lot of people sitting on the plane who
had gotten on at some other airport. I was talking to one of them and
she said they were not allowed to get off the plane because of time
limitations.

When I traveled throughout the Midwest (in another life) I flew US Air
and the now defunct Alleghany Air, quite a bit and they had these "milk
runs" where the plane would land two or three times between points but
you had to stay on board.
