Early bird check in SW

[chicagoshannon]

We purchased the early bird check in back in May when the flights were released. Last night was 36 hours before our flight. Checked this morning and we can't see if they actually checked us in. Are we just not able to see until 24 hours before? I know we can't print the boarding passes until then but I thought we'd be able to see what group we got.

You can only see your boarding number 24 hours before ..

Thank you. I guess I'll know in 2 hours.

Buying EBCI just means they check you in at 24 hours instead of you doing it. I guess maybe they process those at 25 hours, so at 24 hours it's ready for the rest of us to click through. But you still have to wait to get your boarding position.

Actually Early Bird automatically checks you in at the 36 hour mark. This gives you an advantage over those who are connecting onto your flight and checked in 24 before the flight they are connecting from, which could be 5 hours before your flight.

Yes it is 36 hours prior, not 25 hours. You can't print until 24 hours and then you see what you got. How did you do OP?
