How to link SW reservations?

[3angelsmom]

After much stress and price-watching, I booked my SW flights. I booked using the RR points. Due to problems with the SW site, I needed to book over the phone. At the time, the rep told me I needed to book each reservation separately b/c I was booking with points.

I've read here that people have linked their reservations. If I remember correctly, it was so that everyone in their family/group could check-in at the same time. I would really like to be able to check us all in at once at the 24 hour mark. I can't find that thread and can't figure out how to do it on the SW website. The only thing I saw was adding my RR # to a reservation, but it wouldn't let me do that. Does anyone know how to do this? TIA

I don't know how to link them. But when I have to sign us in and we're under different numbers, I just bring up as many windows as I need, get myself as far into the process as possible with each reservation confirmation number, and when the time is right I just click through as fast as possible with each one.

If we're separated, we just all line up at the furthest-back spot (so if one of us got A16, another got A20, the other got A22, we all go to A22).

A few years back I booked several flights using rapid rewards credits. We all had different confirmation numbers. I called and asked if they could be combined and I was told that because we were using credits, they could not be combined. We just had to check each person in individually. I don't know if things have changed.

Good to know. Thanks!

Great idea!! Trying to avoid EBCI fee on the way down and this may work for us. Thanks!!
