Anyone ever have seperate confirmation #s for each passenger

[mckinley]

I had to book our flights seperate on our return flight so i could use up all of our travel funds we had from SW. I have always just had 1 confirmation # for all of us. It will be for our flight leaving Disney. Am i going to have a lot of issues with this & will it cause problems.

There is no issue at all with this. The only problem will be check-in. You will have to use each individual confirmation # when you check in. If you are not adding the Early Bird Check In, then you will have to check each person in at the 24 hour mark. This will make it tough for you to have boarding cards together. That said - even with EBCI - you may not have boarding #'s together.

I am planning on buying the EB so i won't have to worry about checking in 4 different times.

I did and just used EBCI. All 5 of our check in numbers were together on a full flight. We were A19-A24.

Even if your check in numbers aren't together I believe you can board with the last check in number in your group so at least you are boarding together.

In past times of flying SW we have usually gotten in the A's 30-45 & there was always half the plane with many seats together available.

Will it affect using the Disney Resort baggage check & ME.

No I don't believe it will. They just ask for your flight number, not your confirmation numbers.

No - you shouldn't have any issues especially if your using EBCI. We just took a trip last week with SWA points and had separate confirmation #'s for 5 of us, myelf and my dd's and my sil and nephew. We purchased EBCI and we did get consecutive boarding numbers on both the outgoing and the return flights ! I was a bit surprised as we have had skipped numbers when we are on the same reservation. I would not count on consecutive numbers in any case of course.

As for DME - you don't even have to be flying to use DME bus transfer and if you attach the yellow luggage tags you will get the luggage transfer regardless of who is flying or from where. My DH used to fly in a day or two after us and had no issues using DME and the luggage delivery service.

So No Worries

The sooner you purchase it the lower your boarding #'s will be !

No issues but checking in is a pain when you have five confirmations. Also in case of a delay, you might be rebooked on separate flights. Call the airline and try to link them at least.
