Check-in question for tomorrow's flight
I am getting paranoid 
Tomorrow flying a 2-leg flight on Southwest, Oakland-Vegas, Vegas-El Paso. Out of Oak at 8 am, out of Vegas at 10.30.
Tried to check-in at 11.45 - less than 24 hours for the 2nd leg, too (OK, missed the 24 hours mark )
When I open my schedule, only first leg has the small square to mark which flight I check in. Also, a message: you are checking in only 1 leg. Something like that.
When I go to printing the boarding pass, I'm getting B for the first leg, and a normal boarding pass for the 2nd leg, even group A!
Is everything fine? Should I worry about some system mulfanction? Never flew domestic with changing planes, always non-stop.

Word to the wise next time pay the $5 bucks and go to web site board first. This outfits snaps up most of the "A" boarding pass's for southwest which as you know is a cattle car. If you don't get on in A or the first part of B your in the tail section with little or no service of any kind. Also if you have "A" pass and there are delays or plane problems you get "A" boarding on any ongoing flight.

Thank you, Don!
Joanne, I'm trying to understand... "next time pay the $5 bucks and go to web site board first" I thought $5 paid when people call, not use the website? No?
And yes, this is what I did - went to the Southwest website, but not 24 hours before the fist flight. Mondays at work are hectic, I try not to do anything in a hurry, so I got a B for the first leg, A for second.
I still cannot understand who snaps up A group passes?
And... service on SouthWest? Oh, well, everybody can survive without their pretzels on a 1-hour flight
I don't care if it's cattle class, I like Southwest!

I think she's referring to a service where you pay them $5 to print your boarding pass for you. I've heard of that service on this board but I don't recall the name of it. I suppose if the service can get you an A pass over B or C it's worth it, but I wouldn't do it on an airline where seats are assigned.
