I just called Southwest

I just called and they were able to tell me if my flight is originating in the city where we are boarding. They also told me the plane holds 137 seats, and the A group will have 50 people.
So if you don't get an A pass 50 people will board, and then if you have a child 4 and under your family can board before the B group.

So if anyone else is worried like me about the whole boarding with kids thing, you can call and they can tell you the info for your flights.

How did you find any of that on the website? I looked and I couldnt see where it would tell me the origination of my flight number? and I also didn't see where it said how many board in the A group? do tell how you find it on the site, maybe I am looking in all the wrong places.

To find out the origination of your flight, go to the schedules part of the website, click on your city, then click on the group of dates your flight falls into. You then check the flight number, and unless it is an early morning flight, it will originate somewhere else before it comes to your city. I admit it is a little confusing the first time you use it, but once you understand how it works, it is very simple. Just look for non stop flights into your city, that is how you find where it originated. As far as the A boarding passes, I have always just divided the total seats available by 3, not exact but close. Also if you checkin exactly at 24 hours before your flight, you will be almost guaranteed an A. If you still need help finding where your flight starts, just pm me, I'll be happy to help.
