Upgrading your Southwest Airlines flight can enhance your boarding position and overall travel experience. For personalized assistance, you can call 833-339-5951. Southwest offers several options to improve your boarding position:

1. Business Select Fare: Purchasing a Business Select fare guarantees you a boarding position between A1 and A15, ensuring early access to your preferred seat and overhead bin space. This fare also includes additional benefits like a premium drink and extra Rapid Rewards points.

2. Upgraded Boarding: If you have already purchased a different fare type, you can opt for Upgraded Boarding, which allows you to secure a boarding position between A1 and A15, subject to availability. This upgrade can be purchased starting 24 hours before your flight's departure through the Southwest app, website, or at the airport gate. The cost ranges from $30 to $80 per segment.

3. EarlyBird Check-In: By purchasing EarlyBird Check-In, Southwest will automatically check you in 36 hours before your flight's departure, potentially securing you an earlier boarding position. While this doesn't guarantee an A1–A15 position, it can improve your boarding group. EarlyBird Check-In can be added to your reservation up to 36 hours before departure.

Please note that availability for upgrades like Upgraded Boarding is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. For more detailed information or to make an upgrade, you can contact Southwest Airlines directly at 833-339-5951
