Well thank you all for the replies. I did purchase the early bird. IF my family can not board all together (they should call it partial family boarding 😉) then early bird is the next best thing for trying to get my kids on as soon as possible. Considering I've spent almost $3000 for round trip tickets for my whole family its kind of crazy that I would still need to worry about this kind of stuff, and I can't afford more for business fare so I've done all I can do. My older kids have severe peanut allergy, my husband and I carry their epis and they cannot self administer so whatever southwest needs to do, whether allowing me to save seats, asking for people to move or whatever, they'll have to accommodate my children being with me and my husband in close proximity at least. Unless they'd like to ask other passengers if they're willing to stick epis and hold my kids barf bags in case of emergency 😆

Yes they certainly do have control. If they can kick whole families off because of mask issues, they can certainly make sure that children are seated with parents. It's not hard. If southwest is truly this non-family friendly then this will unfortunately be the first and last trip with them. It's very disappointing ☹

Wow, I didn't think that any airline would expect young children to sit apart from their parents.

We are a family of 6. Two adults, a 12 yr old, two 7 yr olds, and a 2 yr old. Am I reading the policy correctly that we will be able to board during family boarding because we have a 2 yr old? Will we all be able to board together? Or just the 1 adult and the toddler? None of my children have flown before, so regardless of them being over 6 I want them to be, and they will want to be, all together with my husband and I. If we are able to all board at the same time during family boarding, will purchasing early bird for all of us make a difference? Does it ever get you into group A?

Maybe a stupid question but. . . If I book a flight with my Southwest Chase card do I get rapid rewards points through Southwest AND points with Chase? Simultaneously. Or do I just get the points with Chase?
