NGPR: Southwest Airlines

Anyone fly with SW recently?  Did they change their ticketing system?

The last time I flew on SW was about a year or two ago.  I remember that you need to check in online 24 hours before your flight, and you print out a ticket.  The ticket will indicate if you are in group A, B, C, and based on that, that's the order you board.

I noticed in my email that it now says "ticketless," and I don't see anywhere where it tells you to check in online 24 hours prior to the flight.

Has this changed?  Or do we still check in online as before, and print out the tickets at home?

    You still check-in 24 hours early.  Just go to their website and put in your confirmation # and last name.  Do this as close as possible to 24 hours before because people who used to not understand the system do now and the places in line fill up quick.  Unless of course you don't care if you are jammed between two men who weigh 300 pounds each...in that case you can just check in at the airport.

    I flew to Vegas on Southwest and had the same 'ticketless' option.

    In my case, it meant they oversold the flight and were trying to find someone to give up their ticket so I could get on. Luckily, they were successful.

    Also, not sure if this is new, but seating is not assigned. It is first come first serve, so if you are in the back of the line, be prepared not to get to sit with whoever you're with.

    seating is still not assigned, but now they do this thing where they put a number on your ticket (along with the letter) and you stand in line in that order. So you actually have a specific place in line, which is nice b/c you don't have to get there super early just to sit in the "B" line for an hour

    Ah, okay, that makes sense.  Thanks, girls!
