Need advice from SW "regulars"

[Uncleromulus]

I fly SW from BWI all the time (as often as I can) and have never had an issue finding seats together. I also download edthe boarding pass to my iphone on my last trip and it was very easy to get through security and boarding that way - and I didn't have to search for a printer.

I have had someone sit in my seat the last time I fly USAir. My sister and I were flying back from Hawaii via Phoenix. The plane was nearly fully booked by a middle school group, so my sister and I could not sit together. I was assigned to a middle seat, but when I got to the seat, someone else was sitting in it. He told me that he wanted to sit with his wife and baby and said I could have his seat - on the aisle in the row behind. I was not about to argue with him! Why they didn't book all three seats together is beyond me, but I was happy. BTW, the middle school group was very well behaved on the flight. They were headed to Gettysburg.

So you just showed the SW counter people and TSA your Iphone?? Just curious---

That's what DD did on her return trip to MCO. TSA scanned the squigley square box (what is that called??) on the phone & had all the info they needed. Not sure what happened at the gate but guessing it was much the same.

It's called a 2D bar code. Yes, Southwest has finally entered the 21st century and is now allowing mobile boarding passes. It works the same way at the gate; your phone is scanned before you get on the plane.

Not really very old but keeping up with all the new tech stuff is just more than I can deal with!!!

I love it!! Can't wait to do this on our September trip! Makes it so much easier, especially when staying in a hotel and cant get to a printer
