Hey would you say this still applies to the recent 2024 promo? I spoke to a worker on the phone and she said any change will void it. She also said she has seen it happen before.

Very good point. All things will be abused but SWA should at least try to curb it. They don't.

I assume this self-serve feature will remain in place until I check into the flight per the message header (as A-List which comes with Priority Boarding, I'm assuming that will be the 36-hour mark for me). I will confirm all this as I get closer to my departure date and will let you know when the feature times out to make the change online; after that point, a Southwest CSA should still be able to accommodate you.
@bec102896 is correct.
As I have a flight tomorrow that has this feature, I was able to confirm that at both the T36 mark (Automatic A-List Priority Boarding Check-In) and at T24 (Agree to the terms and get boarding Pass), this feature does not expire or "go away" at either of these points; thus this is available from the time the change takes place until 10-minutes prior to departure.

I had to do this once, and had to buy my companion a ticket for the last leg I couldn't fly.
I notified the gate agent and they STILL looked for me on the plane.
And I lost the flight credits.
As noted, don't do this unless you plan to carry your bag on and it's saving you A LOT of money.

I've noticed that Airbus seats seem to be wider, for what it's worth. But to me they are very hard and uncomfortable. And the seat pitch in some seats is SO tight, they don't even put a full tray on the seat back. You literally can't put a laptop on it.
At 6'2", I find SWA seats to be plenty confirms comfy.

I got one of them last week. Didn't have to break out my power bank, and the seats seemed a bit wider. Definitely comfortable. And you gotta love how quiet the MAX is.

You cannot, under the law, require a preboard passenger to be delayed at exiting the plane. In fact, it would be more logical for them to exit the plane before anyone else.
Keeping a passenger on the plane against their will would result in a lawsuit for illegal detention and arrest.

I have been on the phone with multiple agents today, to include speaking to two agents here at the airport. What a pain.
TSA’s official stance is any minor 17 and younger can go through TSA pre-check with their parent PROVIDING the airline puts the pre-check on the minors ticket. They do not care if it’s on one reservation, two reservations. backwards reservations, upside down reservations, whatever. The only policy they have is that the airline confirms the minor is in fact related to the TSA approved parent/guardian.
Southwest’s policy and/or the way they have programmed the computers ONLY allows Southwest to put the pre-check on minors traveling under the same reservation number… and if your minor is the companion then per Southwest policy and/or computer system they will be assigned a separate reservation number… so you are correct, if your minor is your companion, then your minor will never receive the TSA pre-check based upon the way Southwest has structured it’s policy and computer system.

Yeah, that would seem to match the previous protocol for same day standby.
Kind of a bummer. No advantage to bring on the standby list early, and no way to automatically be informed of open seats. You still have to log in often and check and be the first one to grab them when they open up.

Yeah, I suspect after leaving the airport, you're out of luck.
My bag came down the conveyer with the handle out and bent. Why they took it out, I have no idea. It was hard to get back in, so they left it out and it got trashed.
I turned and saw the baggage CSA standing there. I made a face and she walked inside and printed me a $200 voucher.
Couldn't have been easier.
Sorry about your bag, glad you got a voucher easily. 😬

It's not SAS. It's Swissport -- which is at about M28.
It appears to make no difference as I read on another blog that Swissport is refusing access to Priority Pass holders.

Hi PamG
Just do like everyone else does on Southwest. Pretend you’re disabled and then get miraculously cured after boarding.
This is something that Southwest’s model of boarding promotes, so take advantage of it.

I don't think you can. What you can do is, use Rapid Rewards points to pay yourself back for travel purchases made with your Chase credit card. You can redeem your points for a statement credit within 90 days of your purchase. However, you need to have enough points to cover the entire purchase amount, and you will not earn points on the redeemed purchase.

SWA stopped flying into Mexico City a few years ago. Unlikely they’d restart.
But yes, Volaris from TIJ is probably a good option. Thinking about taking that flight myself.

So evidently if daylight saving time ends during this period you are instructed to check in at the 23 hour point. Yes, this is happening to me this weekend.
That sounds consistent with past time changes - check in at the correct “number” hour as if it was usually 24 hours in advance even if it is 25 hours in the fall back or 23 hours in the spring forward.
This is the easiest way so the passengers don’t have to do the math on the time.

Until they have one that affects me, or I see it in person, I won't be cutting off my nose to spite my face by not flying SWA.
Too many people get their jollies by posting garbage in the internet trying to go viral. Therefore, I don't trust the one sided click bait they offer up.
Especially on Tiktok. 🤦🏼♂️

I haven't checked luggage in over 25 years. After the second time my luggage did not arrive, once again with very specific clothing required, a suit for an international presentation & a banquet down the first time, that was the very last time I ever checked luggage.
I do love your thinking. It's a great idea if it works for you. However, never have the luxury to sit around and wait for 30 rows of people to deplane. But if I had the time it sounds very entertaining.

I have the Booking Number (or Confirmation Number), but cannot find PIN.
Where is that located? Does it change on each reservation, or is it a constant number used on each reservation?
