Southwest Award Travel Questions

[Native NYer]

We're going to Orlando in August and plan on using our frequent flyer miles. We're using our American Airlines miles to get 3 one way tickets from MCO to JFK and paying for two. We're staying at AKL and want to use RAC for the flight home.

We have one round trip Southwest award. We'd like to use Southwest for the trip from NY to MCO. Would we be able to use the award for two one way tickets instead of one roundtrip? Also, can we purchase the early bird check-in option for award travel?

TIA

Yes you can use the reward to book 2 one way trips rather than 1 round trip and yes you can use the early bird check in.
I used the EB check in for my reward booked trip in October and I have also booked the EB check in for my return trip in December.
