You might be stuck in the middle seat and you might not even have enough room to store your carry-on. This means that if you wait a long time to check in you will be assigned a boarding position in the back and you will not be able to choose some of the best seats. ( Read more about the Southwest boarding policy here.) You will be called to line up with your boarding group in the order of your boarding position and then you can choose any open seats you would like once you board the plane. There are three groups (Group A, Group B, and Group C) and there are 60 positions within each group. Instead, you are assigned a boarding group and position within that group in the order you checked-in. The reason is that Southwest Airlines does not have assigned seating. Once you know what time check-in opens you need to try to check in at exactly 24 hours. Your check in time will open up at 3:05 PM central time the day before. So let’s say you are flying out of Houston at 3:05 PM. Note that you will be going by the local time zone. Once you find that out you need to be aware that the check in process will begin exactly 24 hours prior to that time. So the first thing that you need to do is to find out exactly what time your departure time is. The check in process will begin exactly 24 hours prior to your departure time.

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. 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?
