southwest boarding question...

[andrychowski]

I hope this hasn't been asked too many times, but, as usual, I am nervous about traveling with kids and getting our seats together. My kids don't fly more than every 2-3 years so this is a new experience everytime...my question is, since I have a 4-year-old, our whole family can board at family boarding between A and B, right? We will get our passes, but if we aren't in the A section, our next best is to board with family boarding.

I am just looking to clarify that our whole family can board then, not just one adult and the 4-year-old.

If you do not get A passes, then yes, you can board during family boarding. Family boarding is only for immediate families - parents, siblings. Just be aware that flights to Orlando often have a lot of families, so you'll have some competition. If you are in family boarding, then it's possible you won't all be seated together, but you should be able to have some kids with one parent and the other kids with the other parent.
