SW - A 24/25 - good? bad?

[mommy2aprincess4]

DD 4 and I are flying SW tomorrow morning, I checked us in this morning exactly 24 hrs out and we are A 24 & A 25 - is that good? bad? I know we'll be able to sit together, just wondering where that fits into the whole seating thing. First time flying SW.
Thanks!

you will probably be among the first to get on the plane - the first 15 - 20 #'s in A are for business class that are frequently not sold - if it is a connecting flight some of the A's are people already on board from a previous location.

I haven't flown SW in a while but I am pretty sure that your group is the first one called after the pre-boarding. Not positive though. Have a great trip!

Aren't A24 and A25 the numbers for the bathroom seats???? One at the front of the plane and one at the rear.

Yes, those are the ones. Oh, well, someone has to sit there. . .

Excellent, considering that to get anything from A1 through A15 you have to buy Business Select tickets.

You will be among the first in the A group to board. The only people who will board ahead of your group will be disabled and special needs passengers.

When you get on the plane, you will be able to choose any seats that are not already occupied (except exit row because your child cannot sit there). If no one buys the business select seating (the most I have ever seen in this group is five), excluding any disabled preboarders, you will be the ninth and tenth people to board. The only thing that may be a concern is that if the plane is coming from another destination and there are people already onboard who are continuing on. If there are a lot of them, you'd likely still get seating together, but closer to the back of the plane as continuing passengers are allowed to move and many of them may move up front (but this will be a concern only if there are a lot of continuing passengers).

There are 3 boarding groups - A, B & C. A and B each have 60 in the group, and C is a bit less. Business Select are the first to board after pre-boarders (needing extra time - wheelchairs, etc) and they go from 1-15 or 20 (depending on the route) - so 24 & 25 are excellent numbers. You'll be just fine.
