B31 in January??
I just checked in for my flights tomorrow and was surprised to see B-31 and B-15! In the middle of January no less. I got A-19 in the middle of December! Im not to worried about the B-15 but I really hope with B-31 I still get a window seat. Its a 737-700 Ill be on both legs.

Are you under the assumption that less people fly SW in January than December?
Note that if your "tomorrow" is Tuesday 1/21, it's potentially a typical early Monday morning flight heavy with business travellers since today is a holiday for a lot of people.

I just assumed less people fly in January overall not just SW. kids back in school and holiday season over, it Is tomorrow 1/21 at 7am so that makes sense for business travelers.

Thats true...and Im thankful I didnt Im just very surprised I got this at T-24. Thats never happened, the only time I was farther back (B-54) was when I had a cancelled flight and couldnt check in at T-24.

Sometimes its hard to predict how a particular flight will stack up. Maybe yours had a bunch of EBCI folks all of whom got numbers ahead of yours.
Interestingly, I get my best T-24 numbers on my 5:30AM flights; ones which I would otherwise assume to be heavy with EBCI purchases (because there are a lot of folks not willing to set their alarm early just to check in at 5:30!). But when I get an A-25 or A-30 it tells me there aren't a lot of EBCIs for that flight.

Did you see this thread? Did you have to click more than once? Reports that WN's time is not synchronized to the official US time anymore...
