southwest boarding pass numbering system...

[gigi1313]

i know i should know this, but for some reason i cannot seem to recall...

with swa boarding passes, are they A1-29, B30-69, C70-150

or

A1-60, B1-60, C1-60

(or whatever for however many people a plane holds)

for the first time ever (and that's a lot of flights) i did not get an A pass as i was unable to be anywhere near a computer, etc at my 24 hour mark, and wondering how many people are ahead of us... we're B30-35

Customers are assigned a boarding group (A, B, or C) and position (1-60) when they check in. Your unique group and position combination (for example: A35) will be displayed on your boarding pass and represents a reserved spot in the boarding group at the gate. Numbered posts in each of our gate areas indicate where to line up, so when your boarding group is called, find your designated place in line and board the aircraft.

Hope this helps.

ahh, so B30 = at least 90th on board (not including those pre-boarders and families w/kids, which i just realized i am one, got a 2yo, so i can go before B1! yay! LOL!)

thanks!

If I recall recollection, SW has at times not pre-boarded families with kids, often to Orlando because of how many families typically travel on that route.
