It was a breeze!

We arrived at BWI airport last Tuesday August 24th two and a half hours early and received "C" boarding passes! We were so disappointed, we thought for sure we'd at the very least get "B" passes.

As people started to line up in the "A" "B" or "C" boarding lines, (an hour in advance I might add) I was amazed at how few people had B's, and how many had C's, almost looked like a computer glitch. All was fine, I got to sit with one son, and my DH sat with the other, just a row away from each other, and both sons got window seats, but we were in the very back of the plane.

There were at least 30 people pre-boarding with children in strollers, and people in wheelchairs. The whole family was allowed to board with them, and some had as many as 7 people in their party.

For returning home we arrived 2 hours early at the Orlando airport and received A's this time, so we got to sit up closer to the front of the plane, window seats again for the boys.

I will definitely fly Southwest again in the future, their rates are too good to turn down!
 
To make it even easier, on the day you fly, you can log onto Southwest's website and get your boarding pass before you leave the house. That way, you'll be sure to get A or B. They really are a great airline.

:D Yo can only do this if each person in your party has a seperate reservation number. If they are all on one reservation you can call SW and they will seperate them for you.:D
 
BWI is a hub for Southwest, and since you can now check in for your connecting flights at the originating airport, or online - people aren't checking in at the gate - if most of your flight were connectors, which is highly possible, then chances of getting an early boarding pass at the airport will diminish quickly.
