Southwest Airlines Boarding Groups +1-888-738-0817
Southwest Airlines Boarding Groups are a key part of the airline’s unique open seating system. Instead of assigned seats, passengers board in order based on their group (A, B, or C) and number (1–60), which are determined by check-in time or fare type. Those who board earlier get the first choice of available seats. Options like EarlyBird Check-In, Business Select, or A-List status can help secure a better boarding position. Families with children age six or younger can board between Groups A and B. Knowing how the system works helps travelers find preferred seats and board with less stress.
