I recently become A list member first time. I did check in this morning exactly 24 hr ago and I got A23 position. 

 

My question is do I need to check in exactly at 24 hours? Or even if I miss now southwest will auto check in for me as A list member?

 

Thanks

Hola!

 

Welcome to A-List. An A-List and ALP benefit is Priority Boarding which includes automatic check-in at 36 hours provided you booked your flight more than 36 hour prior, and your boarding position will be available anytime at or after the 24-hour mark. No need as an A-List to set an alarm to check in exactly at 24 hours to secure your boarding position, but be sure to go through the process anytime after the T24 mark to get your boarding pass. 

 

Hope this helps and enjoy your A-List perks.
