Can you check in more than one person at a time on Southwest?

Yes! Group Passengers can check in on southwest.com and reserve their boarding positions beginning 24 hours prior to departure. You have the option to either check in the entire Group, or select specific Passengers.

Can you go through security at an airport if you’re not a passenger?

Yes. You do have to stop by the airline ticket counter and get a gate pass. You have to be accompanying a flying passenger to get one and you will go through security just like if you were flying yourself. You will have to use the standard line also.

Can I check someone else in for a flight?

Only way somebody else can check your reservation is if that person knew your name, flight number and the reservation code. Even then, they would not know if you boarded the flight. No airline will give out the passenger list of a given flight.

What happens if you oversleep and miss your flight?

Under most domestic airline policies — which are outlined in the contract of carriage on the airline website — if you miss a connection, it will rebook you on the next flight at no charge. If that means staying at the airport overnight, the airline will cover a hotel stay.

Do all passengers need to be present in check?

If you are all travelling on the same reservation number, then you must check-in at the same time; otherwise the missing people are at risk of being classified as “no-show” which may have financial penalties depending on the type of ticket. Apparently, there is no hard and fast rule on this (as per Zach’s comment).

Can you check-in separately on the same itinerary Southwest?

If you are both on the same reservation, you will both be checked in together! Happy flying.

How can I find my flight passenger name?

No, passenger lists are the confidential property of the airline; plus there is no way to access them online, because they aren’t online. The airlines use GDS (Global Distribution System) computers that require a specific airline computer language, of which the traveling public is not privy.
