Southwest Airlines and Resort Airline Check-in

[EliseE]

If we're flying Southwest and we check in 24 hours in advance to try to get in a decent seating group, will we still be able to use Resort Airline Check-in to check our bags and print boarding passes? I've seen mixed information about this and am curious if anyone's had recent experience in this regard. Thank you!

Yes I have done it many times. The last time was this past Sept. You will be fine.

TRy to check in exactly at 24 hours in advance for best seat assignments.
When you check in for your luggage they can print your boarding passes right there!

That's so good to hear! Thanks for confirming.

If you do the 24 hour check in without printing your boarding passes; what information/ documentation does RAC need to check your luggage?

Just your ID and confirmation #.

I find it's a great thing to pay for EBCI for my flight home. That way, I don't have to worry about that 24 hr window. I'm usually in a park, or on a bus....it's just never convenient! I get to be checked in without doing anything and I tend to get a better boarding slot.
And yes, you can still use RAC.

Totally agree with this!

I've done the 24 hour check in from Epcot and DHS and it worked, but that was all I was thinking about until I did the check-in. I couldn't really relax and enjoy the last day of vacation until the check-in was done. After that, I decided it was worth paying for EBCI and I must say it was money well spent!
