Make sure you have your electronic toys FULLY charged. You can see that this might be a little aggravating. On our flight back from Maui my flying partner who paid for early bird check-in and got a “B-4” assignment said that when he got on the plane every aisle seat was save with a backpack or luggage until the last 4 or 5 rows. They then board the flight earlier and save seats for the rest of their party. Upgrade boarding is a boarding position between A 1-15. Many passengers buy ONE early check-in or even the more expensive upgrade boarding which you can only purchase at the airport and that is if it’s available. This to might not work as well as you hope but you can probably be assured that you’ll at least get a B-30 or better position. Many people pay the $20.00 or so and buy early check-in which automatically checks you in 36 hours ahead. Someone else in the same time zone as you with a connecting flight like San Diego will have one to two hours ahead of you. Why is that? Well if someone is connecting from Denver there 24 hours ahead for their first and second flight is 2 or 3 hours ahead of you. If you are lucky you will get a low “B” number otherwise you’ll get a high “B” number or a “C” number. If you call 24 hours ahead of the flight and its your only flight that day (no connections) you are up the creek without a paddle. First calling 24 hours ahead doesn’t really help you. When flying Southwest to Hawaii, all rules go out the door. Southwest usually had the friendliest flight attendants and big big one especially when going over to Hawaii two FREE pieces of checked luggage. You can change your reservations without a change fee. First you HAVE you call exactly 24 hours before your flight to get seats unless you want to pay for early check in. There are things that everyone who flies with any frequency with Southwest knows. They usually make things easy and get you where you need. First let me start by saying that I love Southwest Airlines.
