First Time flying SW- question

[lost*in*cyberspace]

Thanks for all the replies! I just added the EBCI for our return flight. I think that will give me peace of mind that we'll be able to sit together on the way back and I won't need to worry about checking in for the flight at a certain time. For the flight out I'll make sure to check in at the 24 hour mark. Also, out of my home airport (Wichita) somehow I just feel more comfortable that we will be able to find seats together. Thanks again!

Just keep in mind that if the flight doesn't originate in Wichita, that there will already be people on the plane when you board.
