For my trip the beginning of this month I booked EBCI for myself, grand-daughter and my son's mother in law. I booked my flight in June, and booked EBCI right away. in July I was able to convince my daughter in law to let me take my grand-daughter as long as her mother came with us, no problem, I booked their flights and the EBCI.
Fast forward to getting our boarding passes, on the trip down my grand daughter was a-24 and the 2 grandothers were a44 and a45. Coming home my grand-daughter was a22 and we were in the 40s again.
We all boarded with the 40s but I thought it was strange that mine was not the lower number and the 2 flights that I booked a month later would have been higher.

That happened to our friends. They purchased the EBC earlier than I did but I had better numbers in the As.

I truly believe after my last couple of flights..is has something to do when you print your boarding pass.

I think there is an ordered by date list but if A get A18 and B gets A19, then A cancels, C then gets A18 when they buy later rather than A moving forward. My best guess!

We had the same thing happen to us--A big family trip and DH &I booked our flights with EBCI about 2 months before the rest of the family. They all got better boarding numbers than we did. We purchased about 3 days after the booking window opened and got A44/A45, while the rest of the party was around A20-something.
