Buy A Southwest “A” Boarding Pass

Since Southwest allows you to login and print out your boarding passes 24 hours in advance, the chances of getting an “A” boarding pass (that is, be in the first group to board the plane) are easier for the tech savvy. This also means that services such as this one, which charges $5 for each successful “A” boarding pass it secures for you, also appear. It’s dangerous to use untested services (and unaffiliated services) like this one because with the information they request, they can change your itinerary (but not the traveller’s name) without your consent.
