SWA preboard ???

[ntburns22]

Since we are bringing a carseat will we get to preboard out of MCO? I am worried about this because I will not have access to a computer to get my passes online for our return flight. I have also heard since most of the flight is families they don't have preboard out of MCO. Any thoughts would be great. We have never flown with the kids before.

4 and under is the SW pre-board rule, the carseat does not determine it. I have not seen pre-boarding cancelled due to lots of kids, but have seen planes half full by the time the pre-boards get on.

Check the SW website it is very helpful but from what I have read pre board is 4 and under.

The suspension of preboarding in MCO is more for extended families rather than no preboarding. In some airports if a family of say 7 is traveling with a toddler the entire group can preboard. At MCO since such a high number of people are traveling with children they limit the preboard to immediate family.

If you are staying onsite you can have your resort print your boarding passes after midnight. Or you can have someone check in for you from home and when you get to the airport you can print the boarding passes from the SW kiosk. That way you would have A passes and not have to worry whether or not they preboard.
