Travel experts share their best Southwest boarding tips so you can ensure you always get the seat you want before it's taken.
If you have a Group A boarding position but you arrive late to your gate, you don't have to write it off as a loss.and founder of travel benefits company EXEC, says these travelers should not be afraid when it comes to boarding before Group B and Group C passengers—even if there is already a line.
"It's important to keep this in mind: If you purchased a Group A ticket but somehow missed the boarding phase, remember you're still entitled to that great seat by cutting in line," Poniewaz says., other travelers have confirmed that Group A passengers are allowed to"cut the line" if they've missed their time.
"Just walk up to the agent handling the boarding and show your boarding pass," one experienced Southwest flyer advised."I'd walk in from the side—not from where the boarding towers are located."There's no need to panic if you are not in Group A either.and CEO of the travel hacking extension company Ratepunk, says. Instead, he suggests that passengers with a Group B or C boarding positions be strategic when picking their seats.
"When you do board, look for rows that appear full but have a middle seat open. Some passengers may avoid sitting in a row with an open middle seat, hoping for a no-show neighbor," Albertynas notes. If you're willing to sit in the middle, you might be able to secure a spot closer to the front of the plane, if that's your ideal section.
