SouthWest Boarding- Group A Position 27-28--Good?

[PSUGuy]

We did the early bird and got Group A, 27 & 28, is this good?

Yes. They hold 1-15 for their "Business Class" (which is rarely, if ever, full - coming from PHL anyway) and begin with A16 so yes, you have good placement.

This is very good. Its still possible to end up in the back half of the plane (if there are a lot of preborders (going to MCO from my area where it snows towards the beginning of winter this happens, we have had 10 wheelchairs lined up for a flight before) or if your flight is a continuation from another city (so there is a potential to be a bunch on the plane before you get on.

You will be 27 and 28th at worse in general boarding though so finding an empty row slightly past the wings is pretty much your worse case scenario (even if business A1-A15 are full, which happens more often now since they sell those positions for $40 just before boarding)

will depend on how many are staying on plane from earlier leg of flight. plane could be half or more full. no way to know and as pp said depends on how many preboards, so you could be in back of plane

Thanks! Don't really care where we are as long as we're together, I would have taken a chance but wifey over ruled me.

You should be good no matter what if just want to sit together. If goal is a Exit row with a smidge more room than it might not be enough.

I thought B32 would be OK for our last flight until I found out that the 60+ school group taking the same flight were preboarding passengers. SW did ask them to sit all together in the back of the plane.

Same thing happened to me on a flight from DC.
Boarding took over an hour & 20 minutes.

What should have been a smooth operation was not.
Most passengers on the flight were not *happy campers*.

SWA did compensate me ... in the long run ... but the extra time did cause great discomfort.
