On Southwest, families with children can board after the "A" group (which is a maximum of, but normally less than 60 people), but before the "B" group. If you are unable to get "A" group boarding passes by checking in online 24 hours before your flight, this would be the best way to get seats together (or nearby). Definitely try to check in and print your boarding passes from home before you leave.

That is too old to qualify for early boarding - per Southwest policy, special boarding between groups A and B is for parents with children ages 4 and younger.

Well here we are in Vegas. After a horrendously long and horrible qantas flight it was a relief to jump on the south west flight early at 10.25. We were so tired, there was no way we could have driven. The south west flight was half full and well worth the money. I'd recommend it to anyone.
