Need help with a question about online check-in.
We have two reservations; one with 7 ppl on it and another with 6 ppl on it.
When we do the online check-in at the 24 hr mark, will we have to do each person separately, or will everyone on the same res be checked in all at the same time?
Last time we flew, we used points and each person had to be checked in separately to get boarding assignment numbers.
But I thought I read some time back that if you pay for flights, rather than using points, that it checks in everyone on the res all at once and assigns boarding numbers all together.
Any body know for certain how it works?

Yep. Everyone with same confirmation number will be checked in at once.

When you enter the reservation number all members on the reservation will come up and you will have to select each person (there may be a select all option). You will not have to enter the reservation number more than the one time.

Don't be surprised if the 7 people don't have boarding passes in order however. They should be close together, but not necessarily in a row.

Hope this helps.

we are new to flying ... second time actually
are you using southwest
2 bags free seems like a deal breaker for me
flight back prices are slowly going up for us too
one bag i will fill with snacks and stuff and use it to bring back my purchases { thanks disboards }
did not know about the credit thing

Sorry, haven't been back to this thread in a while. As far as the credit goes, I usually buy my flight down at what looks like a good price and wait a while for the flight back. I check every day to see if the flights drop. If the one going down drops enough, we call a get the credit. Then when we finally book our flights back we apply the credit. I works alot of times but those flights coming back just haven't moved down, only up. Every time they offer those flights for 59.00 it never seems to be in my area. But I got my fingers crossed.

Everyone on the same reservation will be checked in at the same time. Now as far as you getting 6 or 7 consecutive boarding passes, I would think that you should. But I do not know this for a fact. We have only ever had a max of four and they have been consecutive. HTH!

Very helpful. Thank-you!

I am not worried about all of us having consecutive boarding assignments, just so they are all in the same ballpark!!
I was dreading the thought of having to sit there checking 13 ppl in one by one.
We would have numbers stretching from the As to the Bs by the time I would be able to get them all done!!!
So I am glad to hear that I will only have to check in the two reservations.

It really isn't a huge deal that we all be right together, as long as family members are together.
We are going on a mission trip, and there are three families with younger teens.
As long as they get to be together with their parents, it'll be good.
Hopefully we will all be able to sit in the same general vicinity of one another, rather than being strung from the front to the back of the plane.

Thanks again!!

I need to cancel my flight and rebook, wondering if I cancel, my funds will be available right away. I now have a cheaper flight and a coke rewards code. Any body know? I have never tried it, only changed flights, which is of course the easy way. Thanks

 

[*~PrincessBelle~*]

anyone have a coke rewards code they aren't using? Preeetttyyy Please! Im hoping to book my flight today

 

[wdwfan1]

How do you get a code?

 

[abk96]

If anyone has a code they aren't using I would like to change my flight.

Thanks.

Just noticed my last question posted twice. ?????
Sorry to those who answered me after the first one. I didn't see your posts until just now.
Thank-you Cmbar and ksloane!!
I appreciate the help from each of you!!!

 

[4littleones]

I am looking for a code. 8 people from Pit to MCO. THANKS!

 

[MacDalt]

I got an email yesterday from Southwest with a code. It's only certain dates. Put in SAVE30 where it says promo code. Must be booked by Thursday (tomorrow). Dates are 8/27, 9/1, 9/6, 9/10, 9/17, 9/24. I used it to book my mom a trip from Orlando to Indianapolis $110 each way.

Great deal. Hate how they used such limited dates though. Wish we had a flexible schedule though as I'd plan a trip going and coming back home on those dates.

I agree! My mom was very flexible on her dates so we made it work for us! I wish I could have used it for my trip to WDW in October.

And they didn't give much time to book. I got the email yesterday (Tuesday) and it must be booked by Thursday. Oh well, it still worked out for my mom

 

[MacDalt]

Also it must be a round trip ticket.

When you key in your flight information on WDW site for the Disney Magical Express, which flight # do you put in if you are flying with Southwest & it changes flight #'s before you arrive in Orlando?

Do you put the first leg of the flight's information or the 2nd leg of the flight's information?

We are flying out of Dallas Love Field on Flight # 1165.
We change to Flight # 4138 in New Orleans before we arrive in Orlando.

I would assume we put the first leg of the actual flight on the Magical Express Departing airport/Flight information since our Magical Express Tags are to be put on at the first leg of the trip, correct?

I always put the last leg. The magical express tags, while placed on the bags when you check them, do not mean anything until they reach the ground crews at MCO. The airline will put their own routing tags on the bag when you check them. The flight information you enter online is more for the scheduling of Magical Express busses (and luggage transportation personnel) than anything else. Have a great trip!
