The Southwest Airlines Boarding Process is unique, operating on an open-seating system rather than assigned seats. Passengers are divided into boarding groups A, B, and C, each with numbered positions. Your boarding position is determined by factors like check-in time, fare type, and status level. EarlyBird Check-In or Business Select fares can help secure better positions. Once on board, passengers choose any available seat. Families with young children and passengers needing assistance are allowed to board earlier. This process encourages early arrival and preparation. With some planning, you can secure a good seat and enjoy a smoother experience.
