No Early Bird check in on SW for me!!! And still got great seats!

I posted before the trip about my A boarding group for our flight into MCO. I worried more about our flight coming home. I was all ready to check in on my phone while we had dinner at Akershus. Then I realized after dinner that I forgot!!!!! I got right on and checked in 25 minutes late....and STILL got A boarding group!! (A 55, 56, 57)

Just goes to show that this early bird thing isn't really doing much.....

Congrats! We like getting on board early as well so we can sit in the first row of seats because once we are in flight my DD's like to play on the floor space.

Glad it worked out for you. I have chosen to do the early bird check-in for our up-coming trip in December. However, we are doing it just because it is convenient for us not to have to worry about finding a computer at the 24 hour mark to check-in. I really prefer not to be stuck in between people that I don't know which is why I like to check-in at the 24 hour mark.

Interesting to hear. I'm still glad I've got the early bird service though. I think it'll take some of the pressure off us, trying to check-in at 24 hours at 8am on Christmas Day!

When we checked in for our departure day,we got A group even checking in 25 mins late.

Our leave for home day we got B group checking in at the airport.


We had an advantage. My mom was with us and since she needed a wheelchair we got priority boarding. It was real cool cause we got near the front both times.

Should I get EB check in?

We won't be going down until Sept 2010, but there will be 4 of us and we plan to fly SW. Should I be worried about getting EB check in? I would hate for us to spread out all over the plane. Also, can someone tell me, what if you have connecting flights - do you have to purchase EB check in for each leg or just one for the entire flight?

I am pretty sure that you just pay $10 per person, per direction. So you could choose to pay for the outbound flights and/or the returning flights, but it wouldn't cost more than $20 pp round-trip. (At least that's what I think!)

I paid for the early bird check-in, because we're going Christmas week, and I think it might be harder than ever to get A boarding without it at that time. I will definitely post about my experiences when I get home!
