BUF-FLL Jan 21 A19-A22
Return flight Jan 30 A23-A25 and C26?
I had bought an extra seat as a customer of size and going down I had A19 and preboarded with one of my kids, although I considered just standing in the line. My wife and other kid boarded in their order and sat right across from us. Coming back, the check-in agent seemed to be having some issue retrieving our boarding passes and had to get a supervisor's assistance and then make a phone call. Eventually got it sorted it out and I assumed I was given C26 because I was going to pre-board anyway.

HOU-MCO Saturday 5/28
HOU-MCO
Departing Saturday 5/28
Me: A+ WGA Reward Ticket - A16
Son: WGA Reward Ticket (my points) with EBCI - A29
Friend: WGA Reward Ticket (my points) with EBCI - A30
Wife: Companion Pass with EBCI - A31
This was all ticketed the last week of February.
Not bad. I was afraid the three EB tickets would all be split up.
AND, the friend got the random PreCheck pass! I guess I'll walk PreCheck with my son and the friend and my wife gets to stand in line!
FWIW

TPA-BWI
Outbound TPA to BWI on 9/3/16 A-41.
Return BWI to TPA on 9/7/16 B-1.
Purchased the Early Bird Check In less than a week before the trip - would that be the reason I got put in B on the return trip? Is Boarding Group B unusual for Early Bird Check In?

4/15 flight:
LGB-DEN A-33
DEN-OMA A-40
I impulse purchased EB for the first time ever at 48 hours before departure. I realized that I have a 50 min connection in DEN that I really do not want to miss, and my experience in DEN is generally horrible. Plus the flight was free, thanks to the X-mas meltdown 25k points, so $20 is no problem. I usually like sitting in the back of the plane and never have any problem getting an aisle seat with T-24 check-in, so I do not plan on making a habit of EB (plus LGB uses the rear doors, which makes the back even more ideal). I also have a tight connection on my return to LGB, but I am connecting in Vegas and don't really mind if I miss that one.

There is now.
Tuesday
OAK-LIH-HNL
Purchased EBCI @T-48
A-45 and A-20
Boraxo Jr. reports that he snagged exit row aisle seat and empty middle. Best $20 ever spent (and I think rebated to WN visa).
Was shocked that price was so low for a 5hr summer flight as you tend to get B group for MCO. Maybe Tuesdays are slow, or perhaps people who fly WN to Hawaii are (by definition) cheapskates
