Southwest Airlines passengers are assigned specific boarding positions, consisting of a letter and then a number: You'll either be in group A, B, or C, with A being allowed to board first, B being allowed to board second, and C being allowed to board last.
C 1-60: This is the group you will most likely get if you don't check in right on time. While the C group isn't a guaranteed middle seat, the chances are pretty high that you won't be sitting in the ideal spot.
2. On Southwest it is an open seating policy meaning you can sit in any open seat. With B1 you should have no problem getting a window or aisle at mid cabin or towards the back of the plane. B1 is not bad as there would be pre boarders, family boarders and up to 60 people (from A group) in front of you.
Typically, if you have a boarding position under B30 you should be able to find a window or aisle seat. The further back in the plane you decide to sit, the more likely you will find a window or aisle seat. When do standbys board? Standby passengers will be the last to board.
Customers who purchase an Anytime fare will automatically be checked in to their flight 36 hours prior to scheduled departure—that's 12 hours before our traditional 24-hour check-in. You will receive an earlier boarding position, improved seat selection, and earlier access to overhead bins.
Then, SW usually allows families traveling with kids under 4 to board right after the A group (obviously the family has B or C slots!!). Then the Bs board, followed, finally, by the C group. B10, 11, 12 and 13 aren't bad at all.
An “A” or “F” mean first-class treatment, while a “B” often means you're more likely to get upgraded than if you have a “Q” or a “Y” on your ticket—the latter two are typically the cheapest economy fares.
Who should do it? A ticket upgrade may make sense if any of the following are true: You like the idea of boarding the plane quickly so you can choose your preferred seat and are guaranteed an A1 through A15 boarding position. You want to maximize the Rapid Rewards points that you earn.
Southwest follows an open seating style, meaning there are no assigned seats. You'll be assigned a boarding group (either A, B, or C) and position (1-60+) upon check-in, which determines your boarding order. Once on board, you choose your seat.
Travelers whose company has a corporate agreement with Delta can take advantage of additional benefits that include Main Cabin 1 boarding. This means you'll board before other travelers in the main cabin unless you have higher Medallion status or are traveling in the premium cabin.
If you're looking for a quick and easy boarding experience, there's one airline head and shoulders above the rest and that's Southwest. Southwest's boarding procedures are nearly 47% faster than the traditional “back to front” boarding procedures favored by most airlines.
However, even in general boarding, there are clear queues: Group 5 (Preferred Boarding): Passengers in Main Cabin Extra seats (not on Basic Economy tickets), AAdvantage members who accrue 15,000 Loyalty Points (milestone benefit), and select AAdvantage co-brand card holders.
