Southwest question

[Wazzo]

Hello!

I bought SW tickets for my husband, myself, and our extended family. There are four adults and one 2 year old. I bought the tickets all together, so do we all get to board with the 2 year old during family boarding? Or just the parents?

Thanks!

Just 2 others.. Get early boarding to guarantee seats together

Just parents & siblings. They are strict on that, I've seen them tell grandparents they have to get in their regular spot.

And that is if you are not on one of the rare but possible flights that just doesn't do family boarding because it would be most of the plane. Yes, it is rare, but it DOES happen and it is good to know all possible outcomes (at least in my opinion).

Just paid for ECBI. Thanks for the advice!

I've always gotten the first half of B boarding when I've checked in exactly at 24 hours (not 23 hrs and 55 minutes).
And you can also have two of you board with the 2 yr old and just sit in two rows. There is a 99% chance that no one is going to argue with you if you tell them your parents are sitting there if they try to take seats in your row....
