Southwest Question

We leave Manchester NH Airport, Flying Southwest, have chosen to use Magical Express, Going to Beach Club I have heard that my bags will make it to BCV on trip down, but on trip back we can't use the Hotel/Airline checkin due to Southwest Airlines, we have to take our bags with us to the Airport/Sothwest checkin counter. Can anyone confirm this?

I also heard that we can do the online checkin at the front desk of BCV 24 hours ahead? Can anyone confirm that?

You've got it right. DME works the same for all airlines. The Resort check-in only applies to participating airlines and SW isn't.

You can check in and get your boarding passes from any concierge at any resort.

So you can get your boarding passes even if you are flying Southwest? I thought it was only if your airline did the resort check-in. Normally this wouldn't be a problem since I normally meet friends down there but the next trip my parents will be coming and it would be nice if we could sit together.

Boarding passes for any airline that has on-line check-in can be done at the Concierge desk. Has nothing to do with resort airline check-in.

Think of it as if you were using a friend's computer to check in for your Southwest flight. You can't use any special baggage services, but you can check in, print out your boarding pass, and then check your bags when you get to the airport. :)
