We have flown with SW many times.
We have had great experiences with them.
Our flight schedule has never changed.
We always print out our boarding passes before our flight. They now let you do it 24 hrs. in advance. You want to do it as soon as possible in that 24 hr window, so you can get an A boarding pass. (This just means you get to board quicker) OH.. and if you go to the resort CM desk or concierge they will print out your passes and check you in for your flight home.
Oh.. i almost forgot.. we always get there ahead of schedule.. even if we loose time on the tarmack
