If you are using a browser other than Safari give this a try: Open southwest.com in the Safari browser, log in and try to send your boarding pass to Apple Wallet from there. Sometimes Apple Wallet doesn't like other browsers.

And how do you know the "pretend handicapped" were pretending?

I've done it. No problem whatsoever.
Before my hip replacement I also used a cane to board the aircraft. Put it in the overhead compartment. No problem there, either.

I leave my winter coat in the car. Walking from the parking garage only takes a couple of minutes and I can put up with the cold for the sake of not having to lug a coat around.

10 minutes to deboard? You must be sitting in the front of the plane.

On a delayed flight last year into BWI there were six passengers who had tight connections to other flights. The FA made an announcement asking everyone to be patient and stay seated so they could exit first. Everyone complied and the six were off the plane within a couple of minutes of reaching the gate. No big deal.

Maybe they need to go back to the good old days and use those big plastic numbers that were posted by hand.

I have had flights leave early, sometimes 15 minutes early, as the first flight of the day. The plane has been waiting there all night and they start boarding as soon as the crew arrives. The downside comes when you get to your destination so early that you have to wait there for a gate to be available.

Probably kinda musty at this point.

Many of the boards I read and comment on have a way to block certain posters on my account. Is there a way to do that here?

I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Several times I have transferred points from my Chase Travel Points account to my Rapid Rewards account. The transfer is almost immediate and the transferred points work the same way as Rapid Reward points. If I reschedule a flight for a lower fare and am entitled to get points back, they go to my Rapid Rewards account. It is not possible to return the points to the Chase account. I have not had any problems.

I contacted Southwest once many years ago (using the link at the bottom of the page) and suggested that Early Bird Check in be re-named Early Bird Boarding Position Assignment. That would eliminate some of the confusion. The customer is getting a boarding position assigned at T-36, but still must check in at T-24. Send an e-mail to the customer at T-36 saying something like "you've been assigned your boarding position. Remember that you must still check in 24 hours before your flight to get your boarding pass and see your boarding position."
That being said, I have definitely noticed that EBCI boarding positions are moving further and further back in line.

I have done this. I called and the first CSA said it couldn't be done without cancelling and rebooking. So, I called again and the second CSA knew the trick of how to do it and was able to add EBCI without the cancel-and-rebook hassle. That would suggest that not all CSAs know how to make this happen??????

Funny you should mention this. 2 weeks ago an 800 outbound and a 700 inbound. The outbound flight on the 800 seemed to bounce around more, but I attributed it to turbulence rather than to the aircraft itself.

Each individual has to make a decision whether EBCI is worth it to him/her or not. I almost always decide it is worth it because I don't have to watch the clock or set an alarm to check in at T-24.

Don't want to inconvenience anybody! Don't want to save seats! Don't mind sitting apart for 2 hours! What an amazing post. You must be the most courteous Southwest passenger EVER!!!
Thank you.

I have a flight to Florida booked in February and the fare has dropped 3 times since I made the reservation in late October. Keep checking the website. Flights sometimes drop in price for only a few days then go higher again. Also remember if you have a round-trip reservation and the price drops on only one leg, you can do a change on that leg only.

Native New Englander here. It is often chilly in the spring (40s in southern New England, 30s in the north). It will snow during the month of March but the snow will melt fairly quickly. What are you looking to do?
I agree that fall is better.

My wife and I each have a SW CC under our own names with the other one as an authorized user. We each received the bonus when we signed up. Purchases made on her card go to her RR account. Purchases made on my card go to my RR account.

I am flying in 3 weeks my flight numbers all refer to different routes. It's normal. Your flight number may refer to a different route up until several days before your flight. No worries!

"However, when she pre boarded, 3 of her friends boarded with her."
Maybe she should have boarded by herself and saved 3 seats?

I changed airports from Providence to Hartford for the same reasons you had. Called Customer Service and the flights were changed immediately. Maybe you had an inexperienced Rep?
BTW, in my experience the Southwest Reps are always pleasant and easy to work with. Kudos to them all!

I fly out of BDL (Hartford) and PVD (Providence).
PVD has 3 parking garages...2 owned by the airport and one that was owned by the airport but is now privately owned. I park in the private garage (called Red Beam Garage C). It is a good deal cheaper than the others and is still on airport property. There are very few off-site lots at PVD. If I stay overnight the night before I stay at the Holiday Inn Express.
BDL has a parking garage and 4 lots scattered around airport property. The garage is expensive. In winter I park in the garage as things can get brutal around here. In other times of year I park in what's called Express Lot 1. It is next to the terminal and not a long walk. If there is a shuttle waiting I take that, if not I walk. There are a lot of off-site lots at BDL, and I have friends who always use the Parking Spot. For overnight stays I use LaQuinta.

I had booked 6 seats from PVD to MCO in late June. The outbound flight was changed from 12:10 PM to 5:00 AM. Not a good time with 2 young kids. None of the other PVD-MCO flights were acceptable so I looked at other airports in the area and I found inbound and outbound flights from BDL instead. Called customer service and made the change. They were very accommodating AND I got 6,000 RR points back in the process.
