Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

I can confirm that, with the Priority Card (top tier for those reading along, the $229 AF card) you can book preferred seats for yourself, the rest of your party, and your CPs at time of booking. I currently have flights booked for April and was able to select all of those seats based on cardholder status. It caps out at 8 additional passengers (9 total travelers) for this benefit.

I have not yet had a flight that hit 48 hours, so I haven't gone through the 48 hour upgrade process yet with this card type. Presumably, it depends on how full the flight is, how many other folks with status are looking to upgrade, etc.

As a follow up I can also confirm this. I was able to choose either a preferred or standard seat, for me and my wife, by purchasing the Basic Fare. It also carried over her flight credits since she's a RR member too.

The 737-700 series planes don't have windows at seats 7A and 8F according to information I received from someone on this forum.

That may have been old information before they changed the cabin layout with the extended legroom seats. For the best information, I would go search the SW forum at FlyerTalk.

We were sitting in seats 7B and 7C so I know there wasn't a window for 7A on our plane when we flew last month. But I'm sure that the rows have changed for some of the windows.
