How to get A seats on SWA without a PC in WDW ?

[marcyinPA]

The policy was changed recently so that you can now do it 24 hrs in advance.

I have another question for "A" group folk.
Having never travelled with SWA, if (for example) you were at the front of the "A" line ....upon entering the plane,do you simply sit down wherever you want?
In the front row...for example?
Whats the age restriction for sitting in Exit Door seats?(the rerstriction does not apply to front row...right?)

SW has a pre-board group first (children under age 4 and their parents, people with disabilities) and then group A boards. You may take any available seat once you board. It was our experience that all the front seats were taken by pre-boarders, but we still got great seats (we were the first people in the A group).

We have a 2 yr old and an 8 yr old. Might be a silly question but can the 8 yr old get on with dh, 2yr old and myself. Or does one of us have to wait in line with him and the other 2 board?

So...there is no age limit to sit in the front row (they are not considered the same as exit row seats in that there is an age restrictions as to who can sit there?).
What do you consider as "great seats"?.....near the front?....Bulk head ?
thanks

No, you all can preboard together.

this is a change just within the last month.....around the end of september they switched to 24 hours before

Oh thanks, I didn't know that. This is good news.

We helped good friends who were at Pop this past week. They were flying out Sat. evening at 8pm, but on Friday night at that time they were at Fantasmic. I checked them in exactly 24 hours prior to their flight while they were having a great time at Fantasmic and they got A passes. We are going to be needing the same help when we go in November. They will be happy to do the same thing for us. It was very easy and took all of 3 mins.

When we boarded, both times, the plane was empty from about row 7 and back. Great seats to me is anywhere around the wings...right in front, over, or right in back of. We were over the wings both times.

We had a 10:15 a.m. flight departing from Orlando on Sunday. I checked with the concierge desk at Pop and they said that when the time came, they would be able to print our boarding passes for us. However, we actually left the resort early Saturday morning for an 8:30 a.m. ADR at 1900 Park Fare. We were through with breakfast and in line at the GF for a bus to MGM at 10:15 a.m. I assumed we would just check in for our flight when we returned to Pop that afternoon, but instead checked at Guest Services when we arrived at MGM to see if they could help. They did! I don't know if this is common practice or if we just got lucky. It really helped us out though!
