Hello, I’m a first time Southwest flyer and first time flyer in general. I’m flying to California from the east coast soon and I'm bringing someone with me. I’m really anxious about flying and would prefer sitting with them on all my flights (we have a connecting flight as well). I’m aware that the seats are first come first serve and there is a possibility that we could get separated. Is there any way we could avoid that when reserving tickets? I’ve read forums saying boarding early is the only solution to guarantee you get seats together, and you can do this by checking in 24 hours earlier. But if so many people are saying that, then isn’t everyone just checking in 24 hours earlier? Would it be better to buy business select? And does buying business select guarantee that you board earlier on the connecting flight as well? Sorry for all the questions, but thank you for taking the time to read my post. I’m open to all of the tips and tricks you have to share!
