I flew Southwest for the first time a few weeks ago. I travelled with my 10 month old daughter. I got the EARLY-BIRD Check-in to make sure we got on first...BUT I didn't really need it because families board after GROUP A and before GROUP B. There are pros and cons to the early-bird check in... Southwest does not put a cap on the number of early bird's brought on a flight so literally everyone can purchase it, and it does NOT gurantee you a GROUP A boarding.
I enjoyed the 2 free bags!!! Seats were comfy and that meant ALOT to me being that I a FLUFFY and had my 10-month old sitting on my lap.
