2 Useful Websites For Travelers
I can’t say I promote Southwest in any way, but sometimes they have the cheapest fares and you just have to book with them if price is your main concern. Everyone knows about the boarding groups that SW utilizes and the oh so coveted “A Group”. Now there is a website that lets you pay $5 to secure an A group pass.
Get the seat of your choice
Avoid getting stuck in a middle seat
Sit with your travel companions – great news for families!
Find overhead bin space for your carry-on luggage
There’s also CheckInSooner which works with a variety of airlines and is free!
From their website:
Experts say that every time you fly you should check in early. Why? On Southwest, people checking in early get the coveted “A” boarding group which lets them pick a good aisle or window seat and have overhead bin space for their bag. On American, Continental, United and Delta, elite flyers with status in those airlines programs stand a better chance of being upgraded if you check in early. Give yourself the best chance of getting upgraded to first class everytime! There are other benefits too. United offers a bonus of 500 miles every time you check-in online.

I don’t fly Southwest that often, and I check in pretty quickly. Sometimes I’m ahead of that 24 hours in advance bit. ;)
I love the new look, btw.

Someone was clever enough to come up with a program that basically checks you in early and making money from it! bastards!
