SW, Early Bird check in and connecting flights

[helenk]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but my sister and I are flying SW out to LAX. Our flights leave PHL and then land in Denver and from there go to LAX.
If we use the Early bird check in are we checked in for both flights? I kind of assumed we would be but now I am second guessing myself.

If you are changing airplanes in Denver then you will be checked in for the Denver flight at the same time you get checked in for the Philadelphia flight. If it is the same plane from Philadelphia to LAX, with only a stop in Denver, you will only get a boarding pass for the Philadelphia flight, that is because you will already be on the plane in Denver. If you are changing in Denver then each person will get 2 boarding passes before you board in Philadelphia.

Thank you, we change planes so it is nice to know there will be 2 boarding passes. I am so used to flying non stop to Orlando, this is a first time that I am flying SW to LAX.
