Southwest Airlines is well known for its streamlined and friendly service, and the check-in process at Terminal 1 reflects this perfectly. Travelers have multiple check-in options:
Online Check-In: Available 24 hours prior to departure. Early check-in ensures a better boarding group under Southwest’s open-seating policy.
Mobile App: Check in, manage your boarding pass, and receive updates straight to your phone.
Kiosks and Counters: Located near the main entrance, these are perfect for checking bags, printing boarding passes, or speaking with an agent.
The self-serve options are fast and user-friendly, while staff are always present to help those with special needs or questions. For EarlyBird Check-In passengers or Business Select ticket holders, priority service and early boarding are also available.
