Does anyone know anything about being able to print boarding passes the day you travel? Does them mean no waiting in line to be an A, B, C?

Tinkerbelle32 said:O.K., dumb question here. If you printed them at home, wouldn't the voucher just be regular paper. When you get them at the airport they are that thick material. Does this matter? Sorry, if this sounds lame. Also, what do you do with your cell phone? Is it obvious I'm not to tech. savy? Thanks, Tink

You should get A if you do it at midnight, but expect to watch lots of folks with children obviously not in need of pre-boarding time, go in front of you.
We watched about 40 people, usually 2-4 adults with one child in a group, and only a couple of the children were young enough to even need help with the seatbelt, hop into the pre-board line this past December on our flight.
This varies with the SW agent doing the boarding, but if you do the midnight boarding pass printing, you should still be able to find a nice quiet row for your whole party.

Pixiedust34 said:Yes. I understand that there is a chance of that happening.
I'm flying alone with my 2 kids (they'll be just-turned 10 and just-turned 8) and have not flown since they were infants. In other words, they have no experience on flying and I don't know if they will be scared at take-off/landing, or if their ears will hurt or whatever. I am really hoping for 3 seats together, or at least near each other. I have not flown anywhere for over a decade myself, so this is almost a "new" experience for me too.
I wish SW would up the age limit for early boarding. It's asking a lot of a kid who has never flown to sit by himself on a flight. And what adult would want to sit next to an unsupervised kid for a whole flight? Most adults wouldn't want to sit next to a squirmy, chatty kid whose mom is 10 seats away because they couldn't board together.
Anyway...........I am going to hope for the A seating and will hope for the best in getting our seats together. If I am lucky enough to find 2 seats together, I will put the kids together and will sit as close to them as possible.
