Do you have to have a Southwest account in order to check in online?

No account is required to check in for a flight. You can go on the app or website and click the option for check in you enter your confirmation number and a name on the reservation and once you click check in everyone on your reservation will be checked in 

 

be sure to check in at exactly 24 hours before your flight to get the best boarding position since it’s open seating once onboard and the earlier you check in the better chance of avoiding the middle seat
