Southwest Early Bird Question...

[Wendy5055]

I apologize if this has been asked...I did try looking for and answer.

I purchased the EB option for our flights (there and back). I just wondered if Southwest notifys via email that your boarding passes are ready or if you have to log in? The site says that you do not need to check-in...but how do you GET the boarding passes???

I'm confused as this is my first time...please help!

Southwest doesn't notify you. If you login at the 24 hour mark or any time after you can print your boarding pass. Or you can print it at the airport. It doesn't matter when you check in and print it because SWA has already assigned you boarding number.

Just log in as usual at the 24 hr mark. YOu can access your boarding passes then, and print them out. Or, wait until you get to the airport and head to a SW kiosk and do it there.

I don't know why they would have to worry about getting a B? we always pay for EB check in and have never even been close to the B group.

as everyone has stated you will still have to go online and print the boarding pass after the 24 hour mark, if you don't want to do it at the airport. If you have the ability I would try to print your boarding pass ahead of time if you can. If you already have yours, you can take advantage of curb side baggage check at some locations.

There have been a few reports of people paying for EBCI and still getting B's. My guess is paults has had this happen or knows someone who had this happen to them.

Curbside check can print your boarding passes. You don't have to have them already printed.
