Southwest Travelers who check bags, quick question

[1tufgt]

We have a single order confirmation number but have a two families that are going but they won't be arriving at the airport at the same time and we all need to check in baggage.

I plan on printing the boarding passes before hand and give everyone their passes so they don't need to be printed at the kiosk, but the question is. Will my family be able to check in our baggage without the other family present since we all are on the same order confirmation? So can we go ahead and check our baggage in and then the other family be able to check their bags in at a later time?

Just curious if we should of made it two different orders for airline tickets but didn't think about the airport arrival.

You can check your bags separately from the other family. The confirmation number doesn't matter.

Thanks for the information. I just couldn't remember if once one family checked their bags in if it would close so you couldn't check anymore bags in.
