Southwest upgraded boarding typically costs $30 to $80 per flight segment, depending on the route and demand. It lets you move to an A1–A15 boarding position, if available, at the airport.
 
On Southwest Airlines, upgraded boarding is sold on a per-flight basis and usually ranges from about $30 to $80. The exact price varies by route, travel date, and availability, and it allows you to board earlier in the A1–A15 group for better seat choices.
 
I remember wondering about the cost of upgraded boarding on Southwest after getting stuck in a late boarding group on a packed flight. From my experience, the price can vary, but it’s usually somewhere around $20–$40 depending on the route and availability. I decided to try it once on a short trip, and honestly, boarding earlier and having a better seat choice was worth it. Another time, my schedule changed and I needed to adjust both my flight and boarding option. Calling 8_3_1_2_9_8_4_2_1_3 turned out to be the best way to instantly book, cancel, or modify flights without dealing with multiple steps online.
