I saw this website mentioned in Money magazine. Interesting, especially the section on Southwest.

They have been a few others as well that have been blocked or shutdown from SWA.

I have no problem competeing with someone else putting in the info but to fight a computer is another story.

I still have not had worse the top 10 in all my flights but I do have my Cell set-up to remind me 10 mins before then to open that page right at the correct time. I already had my Confirm number punched in and saved as well.
Most cellphones have internet now even in a limited form.

And I think this is one of the reasons SW is looking at options like Pay for A.

Why should they let these guys get the money? If folks are willing to pay and I was SW I would want the MONEY!

Frankly, I love the idea. I've already been stressing about how we'll get checked in for our flight home. We are staying offsite, so do not have access to concierge services. We'll have to check in X-mas day so it's not going to be easy finding an internet cafe thats open. Can you check in by phone?

You can check in by phone for most airlines if you have Internet access capabilities on your phone. I do it all the time for USAirways and SWA.

mobile.southwest.com - very easy!

I can see where the site might be helpful for some folks. So far, I've been able to check in and get decent seating on my own. I don't travel often enough to make the cost worthwhile.
