SW Online Check In

[HLAuburn]

When you check in online for a SW flight, do you have to print up your boarding pass, or can you check in to get a group A assignment (hopefully) and print it at the airport. I'm not sure if we'll have access to a computer for our return flight, so I was hoping someone at home could check us in online. Would that work?
And on our flight there, when I check in from home, can I print my boarding passes and then check bags at the curbside check in? Just tell them I checked in online and I don't need to get a boarding pass, is that right?


Thanks

You can ask the ticket agent to print it out for you. Of course, that means standing in line. I'm not sure, but you also may be able to print it out on one of the ticket kiosks (if available).

Yes, you can have a friend check you in and then print your boarding pass at the airport (be sure to take your reservation number with you). You can do it from the kiosk. When you check in, you just push the "button" marked Reprint Boarding Pass.

As for curbside - it *should* work. But every now and then there is some security issue and they mess with curbside checkin rules.
