Starting Tuesday, Southwest Airlines is changing its boarding process by switching up its EarlyBird Check-In option.
If EarlyBird Check-In isn't available, you may still have the opportunity to secure the seat you want—but it'll cost you.
According to the memo, customers will still be able to purchase the airline's most expensive fare, Business Select, which guarantees you one of the first 15 boarding spots. But if there are fewer than 15 Business Select passengers on a flight, Southwest also gives customers the option to buy one of the remaining top spots as"upgraded boarding." That upgrade costs $85, however, which is significantly more than EarlyBird Check-In, View from the Wing notes.
."A Facebook post by a friend mentioned it and said 'guess it's Delta from now on.' I also won't buy a flight that I can't get EarlyBird.","@SouthwestAir So disappointed you guys are getting rid of EarlyBird Check-In. You are no longer a low budget carrier so I guess it's time for me to find a new favorite. Southwest use to care about us little people but not anymore.
