Checking in for your flight is the first step in the boarding process. The earlier you check in, up to 24 hours prior to your flight, the earlier your boarding position will be assigned to you. Your boarding position will be A, B, or C and 1-60. Customers will line up beginning 30 minutes prior to their flight to begin the boarding process. Southwest also has Early Bird checkin for an additional $15 to automatically check you in for your flight before others are able to manually check in. This can help to give you a better boarding position. If you would like a better boarding position after you've received yours, you can see a Southwest gate attendant to upgrade to A 1-15 for an additional charge (when available).
