I also love southwest. I have never been late, but my parents were a little late leaving in March and arrived almost 20 minutes late. The weather was bad and they had to de-ice the plane.

otherwise, like said before, we've always been early. Checking in at the 24 hr mark, getting the A boarding pass is also great. You can check in at any resort desk or park and they will also print your return ticket.

Best thing about southwest, if the fares go down, rebook and you have the credit to use up to 1 year from the original purchase time, and it is transferable.
