When I first started flying Southwest more often, I was curious about what upgrade options Southwest Airlines offers because I’d always flown at the lowest fare and wasn’t sure what else was available. I learned that they don’t have a traditional business or first class, but they do offer things like Business Select fares for priority boarding and extra points, upgraded boarding if you want to move up your boarding group, and EarlyBird Check-In so you don’t have to worry about manually checking in early. I wasn’t sure which made sense for my trip, so I called 8 3 1-2 9 8-4 2 1 3 while booking, and the agent walked me through all the options and helped me decide based on my travel style. Later, when my flight changed, using that same number to modify everything made it super easy. From my experience, these upgrades are great ways to make your flight more comfortable without the stress of guessing online.
