If you do not have an A‑list or boarding pass A1–A15, you can buy it 24 hours after check-in using Southwest.com, a mobile app, or at the gate when you travel.

To upgrade a Southwest flight:

1. Check for "Upgrade to Business Select" at booking or via "Change Flight" in your account.
2. Pay the fare difference if available.
3. No traditional upgrades—priority boarding (EarlyBird) is separate.
