Online Boarding Pass for Southwest

[WEDWDW]

How soon do you have to print an online boarding pass for Southwest in order to get an A pass.Do you have to print it right at the 24 hour mark.Thanks.

It would certainly help your chances.

It's really hit or miss. I've always gotten A passes at 24 hours, and at 12:01 AM under the old system. On our last trip to WDW we weren't able to get our boarding passes online (tried but the site wouldn't work for some reason). We got them at the airport about 2 hours before our flight and got two A's and 3 B's.

I have gotten "A" passes when printing out at 8am for a 4pm flight (MCO-PHL)

"A" Boarding pass, but if you arrive one to one and a half hours before the plane leaves, be prepared to find people WAITING in the "A" line already!

I see this all the time, and still don't understand it. Why do people line up early for the A line? Oh, sure, if you are at the very front you can snag the exit row seats. That makes sense. But other than that, does it make a difference if you are in the middle or end of the A line?

I know, it makes NO sense to me either, other than they are the 'first on' and the 'first off.' BIG WHOOP! I usually sit and wait till there is about 12-15 people in line, than I get up and wait. I hate standing on my feet to wait for a seat!
