Southwest can tie four PNRs together and send me one confirmation email but they can’t do the same when they issue BPs. Well, at least we still have A-61 family boarding so we’ll be fine, just a little further back.

Southwest knows the A lister and the companion on a Companion Pass are Linked together, even though they (required) have different PNRs. In fact, you cannot change your reservation without cancelling the CP reservation. I don''t recall, but does the boarding pass indicate there is a companion. Why not just let the person traveling on a CO board with the the A List traveler?

I can confirm that companion and linked minor reservations do not get this newly added benefit. I just checked into a flight and I got A-19, companion (wife) got B-14, and minor reservation (kids) got B-15/16. So it does seem to be that it's only those with the exact same confirmation number as the A-lister get the benefit.

Just checked in for my flight: A18 for me. 3 family members on same PNR A19, A20, A21. Companion: B35. If I don't have split points/$ reservations, this will save me a bunch of early bird fees (since I always get enough early bird for the number of aisles/windows that we'll occupy).

I have A16 on a flight tomorrow.
My wife/companion is A34 at T-24 hour check in.
Clearly there is no change to the companion pass check in system.

A-list boarding
Had to book last minute ticket. Daughter and I got c14/c15
i can board between A and B as my hoarding pass designates A-List preserves, however, hers does not have that designation. Gate agent asked if we are on same reservation, I said yes and he said we were good

Out of curiosity, were you actually on the same reservation/PNR?
