SWA and Early Bird

[bnstucker]

Does it matter how far in advance you purchase the EBCI? I have called SWA today and told two different answers. I would think the further out you purchased it you would have a better boarding pass than someone who added it 3 days before the flight.

Depends on a number of factors, including your fare class.

I purchased the "Wanna Get Away" tickets.

All Anytime fares will check in before you:

Yes. Customers who have purchased Anytime Fares will receive priority over other fare types that are assigned their position based on the time stamp of the EarlyBird Check-In purchase.
