[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last flight they announced any MINOR could do family boarding. I don’t think you’ll have any problem. Set an alarm to check in right at 24 hours in advance to be absolutely sure. [/quote]

Call me horrible, but I think it should be limited to small kids. The Southwest policy is seven and under. I would not normally care, but I've had three flights recently where I paid for early check-in and wound up in the B group. I don't think it's fair that people who paid to board earlier should have to defer to those who did not pay and who don't fit the criteria for family boarding. [/quote]

I think any child still in elementary school should qualify.  It's rare there are SO many children on one flight that this is a huge burden.  So IMHO, it should be 11 and under.  Or I guess 12, depending on if you use 5th or 6th as the cut off age.

My oldest is 8, and she would not be happy if we were separated.  Of course I'd pay if I had to to ensure it.[/quote]

Have you ever flown to MCO? LOL. But I get what you are saying[/quote]

We just flew SW to MCO over spring break.  Plane was basically full before the Bs even boarded.  It was a sold out flight and there was no C group[/quote]

I did too & paid for the early bird and we were still deep in the Bs after a billion families did family boarding. Most seemed to have kids younger than my 8 year old (my youngest - which is why I paid). We did manage to get the last seats together.

I follow the technical rules esp when my kids’ DOB is known to the airline. LOL. [/quote]
