I tried upgraded boarding on Southwest Airlines for the first time when I was traveling during a really busy weekend and didn’t want to risk a middle seat. I had already booked my ticket, but my boarding position wasn’t great, so I decided to upgrade closer to departure. It was a simple add-on that let me board earlier, and honestly, it made the whole experience less stressful. When I later needed to tweak my return flight, I called 8 3 1-2 9 8-4 2 1 3, and they helped me modify everything quickly without losing my upgraded boarding. From my experience, upgraded boarding is worth it when flights are full, and calling is the fastest way to handle bookings, changes, or cancellations smoothly.
