Update #13Does POFQ have internet access to check in on SW for boarding passes?

[Pooh93]

Just wondering how I'll can get us checked in for boarding passes on that Friday night before we leave on Saturday. Does anyone know if POFQ can accomodate this?

 

[philaround]

Yes they can. Just go to the concierge desk across the lobby from the check in desk.

All resorts can do this for you.

Thanks!!! Our flight leaves at 6:50 pm on 6/17, and I figure we'll be in the parks at that time the night before, but figure I can get up early and take care of it the morning we leave.

I would caution you that this is a courtesy and they may deny you. While lots of people have had great CMs who will do this, I was told that they could not. If this happens, there is a 24 hour business center at the Dolphin where you can check in and print your boarding passes for a small fee.

Cheers!

If you have a web-enabled phone or blackberry type device you can Check-in from the parks and then just print your A's .

I did this in LA as a test was sitting right next to a computer but as you I will be in the parks in june and want to get those A's.Well it worked I did mine on the cell and co-workers on the BB.

Thanks again. I don't have a blackberry, but was playing around with my phone yesterday to see if I could access SW airlines on the phone's web. I was doing something wrong and couldn't get to it. I always think I'm so technologically advanced! I'll get someone at work that travels frequently to help me.

I think you have to use Mobil.southwest .com to access from phone.

I think that as long as you CHECK IN before you go to the airport you keep your Group (A/B/C) and you can print the boarding pass once you get to the airport. I am positive we did that when we came home on SWA in Janaury. Can you give someone at home your Record Locator Number (Reservation umber) and have them check in for you?

Personally, I'm a bit anal about getting A passes. I'd have a friend back home check you in at the 24-hour mark, and then print boarding as the airport. At a minimum, I'd check at the consierge desk when getting back from the park rather than waiting for the next morning. But that's me.

Best of luck,
Sal

Printing boarding passes is a new thing that the hotels are doing for guests. It is only available at the concierge desk and during their hours and if they are really busy at the time you go up there they might ask you to come back later. So it is not a high priority above things that would make WDW money.

Not totally true I had mine printed at POP in Oct .(didn't know I could check-in on cell).I went late at night when no one else was there .The CM smiled asked for my Confirm # (must have SW bookmarked ) and in no time it was coming out of the printer.

 

[Pooh93]

Well, I think I've solved my problem. I was able to bookmark mobile.southwest.com on my Sprint phone and that takes me right to the flight check in. I figure I can do a test run on your departing flight from St. Louis to see how it works out .

Thank you for all of your thoughts and ideas!!

Not for the OP, but for anyone else reading this... Do be sure to tip the concierge (or desk clerk, if a desk clerk does it for you) for checking you in and printing out your boarding passes. I normally tip $5 per passenger for the convenience, it is MORE than worth that to me.

 

[Pooh93]

NotUrsula, That is a great "tip." No pun intended! I would gladly give them money to do that for me!!! It would be worth it for piece of mind!

We just stayed at riverside in Jan and the concierge desk helped us checkin with no questions asked. I was worried that we would have a problem, but they were great. It took all of about 5 min and we were on our way back to epcot. Good luck,
