Remind me one more time - SW Check in

[Mary T in PA]

When I go to check in at my 24hr mark, I will be using my iphone. I have the mobile.southwest.com set up on my phone, but will I need to enter just 1 name from our reservation to check in, or will need to go in and enter each name of our reservation. I booked 4 under 1 reservation.


thanks,
Mary

You only need to enter the confirmation numer and one name to call up the entire reservation. However, we had problems with the Safari browser on the iPhone NOT allowing you to check multiple names on the list so that you could check them all in at the same time. On your computer or even on my Blackberry, you could select multiple names or just use a check in all button, but that was not possible with the iPhone. As a result, even though the entire list came up I had to check in each passenger on the list individually, then go back and check in the next passenger. Of course, this resulted in four non-consecutive boarding numbers, which wasn't a real problem but was somewhat annoying and inefficient.

They may have fixed the browser flaw or the issue with the SWA Web site, but be prepared that it may be an issue.
