The only reason I can think of to not convert the Travel Fund to points is if you had an incredibly cheap flight, plan to fly SW one time only, sometime between now and 9/7/22. In all other scenarios I would convert them. You actually get a little bonus for converting, you can add other points to it to get to a flight and they never expire.
I would not count on it. They would not even consider allowing customers to purchase an extra seat to guaranty an open seat next to the customer's seat. Southwest just keeps promoting all of the cleaning and air filtration/circulation procedures in place on their aircraft.
We were scheduled for 12/2-12/9 also. BWI Deluxe Club Level. Hotel isn't open now and likely won't be in December; we just don't feel comfortable traveling right now so we cancelled hotel and air. Frustrating because we had an amazing fare from Midway, literally round trip $120.00 each, including EBCI. We cancelled a few weeks ago and are thrilled that we got our money back v.s. travel funds. Just gotta hope that 2021 is better. I feel your pain.
If you are all on one reservation, you can check everyone in at once. But if you booked everyone on a separate reservation, you’ll have to do them individually. If you have a lot of separate reservations, having multiple devices could come in handy.
I had to check both my husband and I in last week as I used points from 2 different cards. I set up my desk top computer and my smart phone and thought I hit them both at the same time right at the 24 hour time. Somehow someone received the seat number between my husband and I. The plane went down to Florida with 24 people on it so it didn't really matter though.
Has Southwest gone to assigned seating now instead of boarding groups? I also thought Southwest was leaving all middle seats open for the rest or November; or that no longer the case?
No assigned seating on Southwest; you still board based on boarding groups, so either purchasing Early Bird Check-in or checking in online exactly at T-24 will give you the best boarding position, unless you have medical preboard.
Thank you! We are booked to BWI for a trip with the kids so I wanted to make sure.
If you have flown Southwest in the past, you are familiar with their Family Boarding policy. For those not familiar with it:
