Solution, call Res # at SW, and the nice ladies will manually add it to all your PRIOR Reservations. Just did it. Future Res will be automatic of course if logged in..

Very nice. But how do we get our Known Traveler Number?

I presume that TSA gives it to SWA when you are approved, but not directly to you. Should we just make a dummy reservation and see whether the KTN field is pre-populated?
