SW online check-in using reward points

[twinprincesses09]

I recently booked RT flights on SW for May 30-June 7 CMH to MCO, using rapid reward points. This is my first time booking flights using reward points, and I noticed that the flights for each person is showing separate confirmation numbers. Does this mean when I go to check-in online, I will need to complete check-in for each person separately? I debated purchasing the EBCI, but decided not to as we would qualify for family boarding (DDs6). However, I was hoping to check-in at exactly 24 hours in the hopes of getting A boarding.

Yes you will need to check in separately. I can tell you from experience it's a pain doing it from the mobile site.

If you want to do a bit of a dry run, go to Southwest's website and click on the "Check In" button and look at the form that pops up. It requests the confirmation number and first and last names of the passenger. If everyone has a separate confirmation number, you will have to go through the check-in process for each person in your party individually.

If you have access to a desktop/laptop, open multiple windows and get the confirmation #'s setup right before the 24 hours.
