Southwest airlines

I think it's for today (June 2) and tomorrow, but saw has some ridiculous prices right now. Just booked our Sept flight from Chicago midway to mco for 70$ per person each way, which are prices I haven't seen in years, might be worth it for some to check out

Question for SWA...

I'm taking them for the first time (we used to fly Midwest Express/AirTran.

I booked 5 of us down to MCO in July. Can I check in everyone the night before on my app or do they individually have to get on a computer to check in? Also if it's all on my card - I should get all the points - right?

If you are talking SW Rapid Reward points, no, you can only get your trip, even if you paid for all of them. If you made the reservation for all 5, then you can check them in all at once, as all 5 should show up on the same reservation. If you booked them separately, then they have to check-in separately.

I booked everyone and paid for them (they paid me back - but as far as SWA is concerned it's all me). Ok thank you both! I will be certain to check in at exactly the 24 hour mark.

Ok...so not Southwest but I just(literally a few mins ago) booked on Expedia non-stop roundtrip for 2 from PHL to MCO for $124 pp!!! Crazy cheap!! Traveling 7-30 through 8-4...hope this helps someone!

I guess that was Frontier? Just beware they charge higher baggage fees for people who book using 3rd party websites. And no resort airline check in via Disney. But otherwise I've flown them many times. Paid $106 RT two years ago

Start at 24 hrs and 5 minutes and just keep trying. When you finally do get through, at exactly 24 hours, you'll find that you likely have a mid to low B boarding number.

I hate to take a chance I do early bird check in every time. I hate when we get split up even though my triplets are now teens
