I wanted to upgrade my boarding position on Southwest for a recent trip because I knew the flight would be full and I wanted a better choice of seats. I wasn’t sure how it worked, so I called 8 3 1-2 9 8-4 2 1 3 to get some guidance. The agent explained the difference between EarlyBird Check-In and upgraded boarding, and helped me secure an earlier boarding group. On travel day, it made such a difference—I got a great seat near the front and had extra legroom without paying for Comfort+. Later, when I had to tweak my return flight, using the same number made modifying my booking and keeping my upgraded boarding simple and stress-free. From my experience, calling direct is the fastest way to make sure you get the best boarding position.
