Does anyone know what time the self serve kiosks and bag check in starts at Midway airport for Southwest? We have a 5:30 am flight and was planning on arriving between 3:30-3:45 am. But someone posted they don’t start the check in kiosks until 4:30am. That doesn’t leave a lot of time to get bags checked and through security. Has anyone flown this early flight that can confirm? The Midway website states Security starts at 3:30 am. Thanks
Nope. Both the person on the phone and the person on chat said it “should be fine”. Hopefully so but thankfully I have early bird so I can check in at the airport if it doesn’t work. I will post on here June 1 if I was able to check in at home. They both said my situation was weird but both didn’t seem to think it was a big deal or say that tech people would look at the problem. They both just confirmed my flight was as booked.
So the Max 8 planes actually say Max. Good to know. Thank you!No, 737-800 is currently flying. It's not the same as the grounded 737-800 MAX
That’s what I’m waiting for. Just a few shekels off would make me happy.Anyone heard any rumors about the next 72 hour sale? Historically it should be in the next week or so
It was really interesting to see when I logged on at 11:30 that ALL Wanna Getaway prices for Dec 26 (the entire day) were sold out for Detroit to Orlando.
Wow that was painful. Over $1K/person. But rooms are locked in and we don't have a choice. We had over 100,000 points and thought that would be enough, but only covered one person. I don't know if we can afford to fly this time of year again, it definitely wasn't in my budget to spend quite this much.
It took about an hour and a half, but I got a new reservation number for my June trip. They basically had to cancel and rebook the whole thing. I don't get the error message when I check the new reservation, so you might want to call and inquire about that. Although I think you said you had early bird checkin, right? So the checking in part might not matter as much.
Thank you! I am not going to get a new reservation number because I don’t want my early bird checkin to go to the bottom of the list. I assume I probably won’t be able to print a boarding pass or even get it online ahead of time. I always give my bags to the skycap at the drop off area so I assume they can print it for me. I would hope I can get a boarding pass at the airport without issue. Hopefully they can access my stuff since the people always can when I call. Jeez I don’t need this to worry about.

So if you just change a reservation to a different flight it doesn’t mess with your early bird standing? For some reason I thought it did.
Was that WGA or Anytime or Business Select?Wow that was painful. Over $1K/person. But rooms are locked in and we don't have a choice.

It would.

That’s why I am not doing anything to my reservation now. I did change the flight shortly after I booked it which may have bumped me down a little but no way will I do what the previous poster did to fix his inability to pull up his flight since I have early bird. He didn’t so he actually needed to fix the problem or he would be at the back of the boarding.
