Southwest is limiting its EarlyBird Check-In option for certain flights, a change that is causing some travelers to threaten a boycott.
It may be harder for you to get an earlier boarding position on your next Southwest flight thanks to a change rolled out today. The carrier is"limiting the number" of EarlyBird Check-In spots that are available for some of its trips, Southwest spokesperson"Beginning August 15, EarlyBird Check-In will be subject to availability on certain flights, routes, or days, and that will mean EarlyBird Check-In is unavailable for some customers looking to purchase it," she explained.
"The EarlyBird Check-In is honestly one of the biggest reasons I always fly with Southwest. I've never flown with anyone else," one traveler ."Hopefully the flights this is taken away from aren't the ones I will take in future. Might have to bite the bullet and try somewhere else.":"The change in the EarlyBird Check-In, where they may not be available on certain flights isn't giving people smiley faces. 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 early bird.
There are a number of threats from potential passengers, who say they will switch to other carriers as a result of Southwest's boarding change.
