Hi guys,
First timer on WN. First-time poster on FT (occasional lurker). One nagging question that was not readily ascertainable (by me, at least) through searching the forum and reading the wiki:
1. Is inputing the info of one of the passengers on a multi-passenger PNR in the OLCI form at T-24 and pressing the "Check in" button sufficient to check in
ALL the "multi passengers" in the PNR?
2. Follow-up: is pressing "Check in" with the correct info in the form (or with the pre-built link) sufficient to check in or is there something else after that needing to be filled out (e.g. luggage, hair color or whatever else)? [I've done plenty of non-WN OLCIs before, and none were ever this straightforward...]
3. 2nd follow-up: is there a true-and-tried consensus now that EBCI is assigned by order of ticket purchase within a certain class of passengers (i.e BS, A-List, Anytime, WGA) or is assignment random within each group and sequential among groups, in the order BS to WGA?
While by inference my reading the forum & wiki suggested all passengers in a PNR are checked-in at once, I tripped over something in WN's online FAQ:
[T]he Wireless Checkin interface will check in all Passengers included on the reservation. Unlike Online Checkin at southwest.com, there is not an option to check in one Passenger at a time. If you wish to check in a single Passenger traveling in the multiple-passenger reservation, please visit Online Checkin at southwest.com.
If the southwest.com OLCI form automatically checks in
all passengers in a PNR, where is the option to check in separately?
