Southwest Seat Assignment Tip

By Don Nadeau, on November 1, 2008, in Airfares

Regular Southwest travelers have this revised procedure down pat, but if you haven’t flown with Southwest for awhile, this advice is for you:
If you’re traveling on Southwest, definately check in online as close to 24 hours prior to departure as you can. This is your best chance to get a good seat—not a specific seat assignment, but instead the priority to board early to select a good seat. Also, for excellent priority, check in online on Southwest even if you can’t access a printer. You can then print out your priority boarding pass at the airport.
