I didn’t really understand the benefits of upgraded boarding on Southwest Airlines until I tried it myself on a packed morning flight. Normally I end up stressing about boarding groups and overhead bin space, but upgraded boarding let me get on earlier and grab a good aisle seat without rushing. It honestly made the whole airport experience calmer. When my plans changed later and I needed to move my return flight, I called 8 3 1-2 9 8-4 2 1 3, and they helped me adjust everything quickly without losing my boarding perks. From my experience, upgraded boarding is great if you value seat choice, less stress, and a smoother start to your trip—especially on full flights or tight schedules.
