But to make it worse.since we were "preboarded" we were not allowed to sit in the exit rows. I never liked that as I thought it was too obvious and not discrete at all.
They insisted we be preboarded so we could met and talk to the flight crew. Back before I was retired I often traveled on SWA and as a federal agent, was always arned. I should not be surprised at the lack of common sense in this outfit. Maybe they want to kill it off once and for all. Interesting since I think they have plans to boost the EB price soon. Between that and the "business class" fares it may be that the EB option is something that has passed its prime. I suspect part of this is due to increased numbers in their "A list" program. Boarding pass time and it is B5 and B6!!! Complained and got the standard template letter explaining the boarding pass program. Like others have said, I purchased tickets months in advance with EB option for daughter and granddaughter. My latest experience with SWA showed me how flawed this EB program is and what a serious "bait and switch" it is. So, my $10 "early bird" check-in purchase per flight only gets me a 58th-to-120th boarding position? If so, I feel like a true fool.Ī positive response to my initial question, will help me to conclude that this was my FIRST and LAST Southwest flight. Upon inquiring at the check-in kiosk, Southwest personnel were not surprised and commented that sometimes "early bird" check-in can result in a "C" boarding position (an additional 60 positions farther back in boarding). So, I was surprised to be assigned an "A-58" position on the return flight (58th person to be able to board the flight). When I purchased my ticket and "early bird" check-in in late March for a mid-July domestic flight on Southwest, common sense made me think that my purchased boarding position ($10 for each of the two flights) would reflex the early purchase date and be related to an "early bird" process. Your original boarding position is not guaranteed.Am I correct in assuming that Southwest Airlines puts your name/confirmation number in a hat and pulls it out along with all the other people who also paid for the "early bird" check-in to determine your boarding pass location? If there are any government taxes and fees associated with these itinerary changes, you will be required to pay those. Based on the flight status contact preference selected during booking, the message regarding your standby status will be an email or text message with a link to access the boarding pass via the Southwest app, mobile web, or you can visit a Southwest Gate Agent to print off the boarding pass. For both the same-day change and same-day standby benefits, you must change your flight or request to be added to the same-day standby list at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your original flight or the no-show policy will apply. If there isn’t an open seat on this different flight, you can ask a Southwest Gate Agent to add you to the same-day standby list for a flight between the same city pairs that departs on the same calendar day prior to your originally scheduled flight, and you will receive a message if you are cleared on the flight.
