Southwest airlines has a deal where you can spend $12.50 for the ability to check in online up to 36 hrs before you flight. That is 12 hrs before those that do not purchase the special.
Reading online about it in the FAQ's, someone asked if everyone on that itinerary has to buy the early bird?
The answer was no, unless you added the early bird special at the time of booking the airfare, but if not you would have to add it later and omit others.
SOOO if I'm correct and there is a trick I'm not getting, I should not add it to my booking at the time of the airfare and just add it later to one in the party. Since it's just for my wife and I, I could board and put a bag on the seat beside me and save it for her after everyone boards. I understand if for some strange reason someone cut a fit and wanted me to prove that seat did not have the special bought, I would have to give it to them. Can't imagine that happening, but would gladly give it up! Anyone else think of that and did it?
