Southwest Boarding Pass Hack

Southwest2This is a great tip from the blogger The Social Customer Manifesto on how to get to the head of the Southwest A-B-C seating game if you are in a hotel and can not print out your boarding pass.

If I didn’t check-in before I left the hotel, I’d be destined for a “Group C” boarding experience. But if I did check-in online, I wouldn’t have a boarding pass to get through security. What to do?

Then I remembered “the magic option” on the Southwest Airlines kiosks that I had seen when I had checked in for my outbound flight. That magic option? “Reprint Boarding Pass.” (I had actually needed to use this option when checking in for my outbound flight, as the first boarding pass had jammed coming out of the printer and had been ripped to ribbons in the process.) 

Read the rest at The Social Customer Manifesto.

    You know that instead of going to site and checking in 24 hours before your flight that you can also use various online services to schedule your A Boarding Pass retrieval for you. APassOnly.com Will get your A Pass for you so that you don’t have to even worry about it.
