SWA...when exactly is T-24?

[sj24]

My flight departs at 2:10pm on a Saturday per the website. Does the countdown start at 2:10pm the day before(Fri)? I know it's probably a dumb question with a obvious answer but just wanted to be sure, it seems like people sit at their computers waiting to hit the enter button as soon as the timer starts.....i want to be one of them

Yes, if your flight is depart at 2:10 PM on Saturday, you need to be online at 2:10PM on Friday with your confirmation number typed in and your finger on the enter key. Sounds a little crazy, but I usually bring up the atomic clock website so I'll know exactly when it's T-24. And I have multiple browser windows open to the SWA website with all my information type in, just in case I hit enter too soon, so I've got a back up window waiting for me to press enter again.

Thanks Bobo, thats what i figured, just wanted to make sure. I hope we are not trying to check in for the same flight.....you will surely get on before me with that strategy
