Group 1 boarding starts April 30.

As promised, we are keeping you informed on what we’re actively doing to refine your travel experience. I’m excited to share that starting April 30, 2026, you and all A-List Members will enjoy Group 1 boarding,* giving you earlier access to the cabin and overhead bin space every time you fly with us.

As a reminder, we continue to install larger overhead bins that hold up to 50% more bags, and around 70% of our fleet will have these larger bins by the end of the year. Also, we’ve completed installation of signage to the bins above our Extra Legroom seats to reserve bin space for Customers sitting in those rows. These updates are designed to make your journey even smoother from the start.

As an A-List Member, you and everyone on your reservation receive these benefits:
  • Select any available Preferred or Standard seat at booking at no additional cost1
  • Upgrade to an available Extra Legroom seat within 48 hours of departure2
  • Check up to one bag per Passenger on your reservation for free3
  • Earn a 25% point bonus on all your qualifying flights4
  • Enjoy priority access to our Customer Service phone support, and more.
Your feedback plays an important role, and I will continue to keep you updated on our ongoing focus to enhance your travel experience.

Best,

Tony Roach
EVP Chief Customer & Brand Officer
