Southwest -- Not a good Boarding # -- Is there hope?

[DebbieB]

This is what happen to me this evening. I purchased EBCI for both legs of my trip when I purchased the fares in February. I ended up with B47, B48, and B49. We fly out tomorrow (Saturday) to PIT.
I doubt there are many business class passengers. I think everybody now purchases EBCI.

I would contact SW to be sure your EBCI was processed. I got A26 on my last flight MCO-PIT in May. I have read cases where it dropped off the system. if it did, you should get a refund.

More people are buying EBCI but more people are only buying 1 and saving seats.

Thanks! I did try calling tonight and was told that it does not guarantee an A boarding position, but does guarantee early check in. They gave me a number for customer service to call on Monday. This is my worst boarding position in the 8 years of Disney trips. Our flight down we had A16, A17 and A18.

I think I may switch back to flying during the week. Funny thing is, Latrobe/Arnold Palmer airport is so much closer to home, but I don't care for the flight times or all the extra fees.

I'm flying on Saturday October 22 & 29, we'll see. I bought my ticket the day they came out with EBCI. Those numbers just don't seem right. I could see a low B but a high B? I would ask the people in front of you if they bought EBCI.
