First time Flying on SW tomorrow!!~~Have a QUESTION!!:) :)

[kritter]

I was on the computer at the very moment it was time to check-in and hit send right @ 7:30. I got Boarding Number A 54. I am now worried that my family of 6 will not be able to sit together. My parents are also travelling with us. So if they have to sit together by themselves it is not a big deal, but the four in my family want to be able to sit together. On the way home I did pay for Early-Bird-Check-In!! What has anyone's experiences been with getting this number!!

TIA!!

What are the other boarding position numbers?


If they are all in the A's or even low B's, you'll be fine, you just will likely have to go towards the back of the plane.

WE are A54-56 and B 02-03!! Thoughts??!!

As the PP said as long as you are all in the same general BP #'s you'll be fine. We were not quite as high as your numbers but still in the 40's and had no problems with about mid plane. You may want to just head back a few more rows to get settled with 6 people and allow others to fill in ahead of you.

Shouldnt have any problems at all with 3 either infront / behind, or across from each other.

You're going to be fine with those numbers. There are 137 seats on the plane. You'll be in the first 60 to board. Just don't expect to be in the very front, but you won't be in the very back, either (unless you want to be).

I have had a B54 boarding pass and was still able to find seats together for my family of 4. You will have to split 3 and 3 anyway due to the seat configuration. You will have to "hold" seats for those B boarding passes, as the family boarding is after the A's and before the B's. If you go towards the middle of the plane you will be fine

Thanks, nervous since we have never flown them before.....................................

Also, on the return flight home I paid for the Early-Bird Check-In. When will I get my boarding passes??

 

[ironz]

Kritter...as for the Early Bird on the way home. Your boarding position will be assigned 36 hours before your flight, but you won't be able to print boarding passes until 24 hours before the flight. So you can do that at your hotel, at Guest Services, or wait until you get to the airport on the return flight.

Have fun! I'm heading out tomorrow, too!

Thanks,, safe travels to you and your family. Ok, great so I do not need to do anything ahead of time for the way home? Can I get the boarding passes printed at my hotel??

Concerige desks at WDW resorts will print boarding passes for you. However, as previously stated, you really don't need to print your boarding pass until you get to the airport and check your bags. If you have a web enabled phone, you can go check your boarding pass numbers, or use available computers at your hotel.

While a number of us may argue the ethics of holding seats for later-boarding passengers , in this case, what the OP is going to want to do is have the first-boarding family members take the window and aisle seats. Most passengers won't take middle seats unless forced by circumstances (aka no more aisle or window seats available).

Question, though. The OP only lists five boarding pass numbers: A54, A55, A56, B02, B03. Was this a mistake, or do you actually only have five boarding passes for six people?

Also, um... oh, yeah. If you have small children who might have a tendency to kick (or pull on, or otherwise 'attack') the seat in front of them, PLEASE have members of your party sit in front of the children, instead of behind or across the aisle.

Sorry, I do have six boarding numbers I must have not typed one in...

I am hoping that the boarding process goes smoothly for us since this is our first time flying SW!!

I think you will be fine. For our return flight I totally forgot to use the check in and ended up getting my seating numbers about 6 hours after the 24 hr mark. There are 5 in our party and I got A60-the rest got B1-4. We had no problems sitting together and there were plenty of seats to pick from.

 

[codimouse]

you will be just fine. as the "A" passes will be boarding and probably still standing waiting on others ahead of you to find seating the "B" passes will be right behind you.
so no need to panic. we did this with just four of us. my hubby and younger one boarded first but myself and older daughter ended up right behind him as he was searching for a seat.

for passes back home we had ours printed at Animal Kingdom. we didnt want to leave the park and miss a parade so we asked and they did it for us.
they told us anywhere disney guest services are they can print your passes.
