Southwest Rapid Rewards - checking in while in the air?

Tomorrow I will face a first. I land 23 hours before I take off again. How do I check in? I guess t-24 is out of the question, unless I get wifi. Can I check in at the airport when I land and then check in again with my bags the next day?

Thanks

I believe the options are:


check in at wifi enabled terminals in the airport
pay $5 on a wifi enabled flight
pay $10 for early bird check in

pay $5 on a wifi enabled flight



southwest.com is free to access on a wifi enabled flight.

I'd pay the $5 anyway! But with my luck the WiFi will be on FLL-TPA and not TPA-SAT!

Finding a WiFI enabled flight is what is hard.

Check in on your phone while taxiing to gate. Southwest app allows it; I bet the mobile website does too.

You can check in at an airport kiosk (at the airport where the trip originates) at T-23 (anytime after T-24). If you want to make T-24 and don't want to get EBCI, you can ask a friend to check you in. When I've been in this situation, I've gotten EBCI and used the airport kiosk on arrival to confirm that it worked.

Have a friend check you in.

Your odds of being on a wifi enabled Southwest aircraft are very very small. Say 5% tops.

I just want to say how great SWA WiFi is and that I told you all that my luck would be getting the WiFi on the flight I don't need it...we'll see what happens on the next one!
