Hello there!

Not sure if this is in the correct forum but I have a question re:Southwest. I am going to WDW with my 7 month old in March (me, him, my husband, mother and brother). I am flying from Massachusetts to MCO. The customer service rep told me that they no longer allow families to pre-board and that family boarding goes after Zone A. Which is totally fine however I always check in online immediately and I always get Zone A (Type A personaility...I like to be on the plane and comfy cozy and not have to worry about our party being split up). So my first question is can I just check in like usual and board Zone A as I usually would? I know that sounds like a dumb question...but do I have to wait for family boarding because I have him? There is no carseat or anything...

My second question is about security. How does that work? Do they allow baby food and formula past security with the liquid restrictions? I read somewhere about "medical necessity" but I don't know if they constitute formula and baby food as a "medical necessity"....

Any help is much appreciated!

When I flew Southwest with my children I did what you said, checked in online as soon as possible, got A boarding and was able to board with the A group.. it worked out great... I also waited until everyone else left the plane and was the last one off all of our flights... I found it much easier to gather all our belongings, get organized and keep track of the kids once I knew I wasn't holding people up....but then again on a flight to MCO there will probably be many other kids anyway and it isn't so much of an issue with a 7 month old running off. ha ha

Not sure on the medicine, etc.
